Overview

South of the Amalfi Coast lies the town of Paestum, which is home to the oldest Greek temples in mainland Italy and is one of Campania's many UNESCO-listed sites.

In the morning, a driver will meet you at your hotel to take you to Paestum (pricing may vary slightly depending on hotel location), where your private guide will be waiting for you.

Paestum is a fascinating site, founded by Greek colonists who dedicated it to the sea god, Poseidon, around 600 BC. You will be amazed by the sheer size of the temples, which are unlike anything you have seen in Pompeii and Herculaneum.

The earliest of the three temples dates back to around 560 BC. Over the years, the temples have been associated with different gods, and you will learn why it has been so challenging for scholars, although they are all believed to have been built in honor of female deities.

The temples are not the only ruins of ancient Poseidonia remaining. Your guide will show you evidence of the Greek settlers in the altars and the agora, while the later Roman inhabitants made their mark with the amphitheater and grand houses.

Finally, you will visit the museum that houses many of the finds from the site and some beautiful tomb paintings, including the charming Tomb of the Diver.

At the end of your visit, you may want to stop for lunch in town before heading back to your hotel.
