What makes Paestum Small Group Tour with an Archaeologist a unique experience ?
Explore the archaeological site of Paestum, the best-preserved Graeco-Roman city, on a two-hour walking tour with a licensed archaeological guide.
The Temple of Hera II in Paestum (formerly Poseidonia), is earlier and is still often referred to as the ‘Temple of Poseidon’ or ‘Temple of Neptunus’ due to a misidentification. This temple is the more northern and recent of the two Hera temples in Paestum.
The Temple of Athena, also known as the Temple of Ceres (c. 500 BC), is a Greek temple located in Paestum, situated near the so-called Basilica, which is considerably larger than it.
Explore the captivating National Archaeological Museum, home to a rich collection of local Greek artworks dating back to the 7th century BC. The unquestionable highlights of the museum in Paestum are the frescoes found in the ‘Tomb of the Diver’ and the red-figure Krater of Asteas.
