Please share your suggestions for the best scenic route between these two cities. After taking highway 166 east from Paestum, I'm looking at a southern route on 598 toward Grumentum and then north on 176 to Pisticci and then highway 7 into Matera.
OR I could head north instead to Potenza on highway 95 and then east all the way to Matera on highway 7. Both appear on my map as scenic routes.
Your thoughts--and especially your estimate on # hours of travel--for these routes is appreciated! Grazie.
