Rome is the most popular travel destination in Italy but while many tourists travel north of Rome, far fewer venture south. Naples and the Amalfi Coast are the most popular southern Italy destinations but Southern Italy has unusual sights that you won't find in the north like the well-preserved Greek temples at Paestum, the sassi or cave city of Matera (where you can stay in a cave hotel), and the cone-shaped houses called truilli in Puglia.
If you're interested in southern Italy check out South of Rome, an interesting blog created by an American woman living outside Naples. Today's post is about a restaurant she recommends in Paestum right by the temples.
