Paestum Walks

In the heart of Campania, nestled between the sea and the hills, lies one of Italy's most fascinating archaeological sites: Paestum, the ancient Poseidonia founded by the Greeks in the 6th century BC.

Your experience begins with a visit to the Paestum Archaeological Museum, where you'll admire extraordinary artifacts unearthed from the ancient city and surrounding necropolises. Highlights include beautifully preserved sculptures, ceramics, and the famous Tomb of the Diver, a rare example of ancient Greek painting. This introduction will offer valuable context to better appreciate the ruins you'll soon explore.

Following the museum visit, a private licensed guide will accompany you on a tour of the archaeological area, focusing on the living soul of the ancient city. Strolling among the millennia-old Doric temples, you'll be immersed in a timeless atmosphere where the majestic Temple of Neptune, the Basilica dedicated to Hera, and the elegant Temple of Athena testify to the grandeur of Greek civilization. Every column and every stone tells stories of worship, architecture, and daily life, which your guide will evoke with passion and expertise. The tour continues along the Via Sacra, past the remains of houses, shops, and public spaces, culminating in the city's beautiful ancient walls and monumental gates.
