Paestum Tour
Discover Ancient Paestum & Buffalo Mozzarella Tasting – Full-Day Tour
Step back in time on this captivating journey into the heart of ancient Greece. Located just a two-hour drive south of Amalfi, Paestum was founded by Greek settlers in the 7th century BC under the name Poseidonia. Over time, it was inhabited by the Lucanians before becoming a flourishing Roman colony in 273 BC. Today, Paestum is renowned for its exceptionally well-preserved Greek temples, set in a tranquil countryside landscape.
Admire three impressive Doric-style temples, each reflecting unique light and shadow variations throughout the day and seasons. This breathtaking setting has inspired many great minds, including Goethe, Shelley, Canova, and Piranesi. Among these magnificent structures:
- The Temple of Hera (6th century BC) – the oldest of the three.
- The Temple of Neptune (5th century BC) – known for its striking golden hues.
- The Temple of Athena (formerly attributed to Ceres, 6th century BC) – later repurposed as a church during the Middle Ages.
