Some information about this tour
Paestum, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site, was originally known as Poseidonia. Established in the 7th century BC by Greek settlers from Sybaris, the city flourished magnificently before eventually being overtaken by the Lucanians.
The Romans renamed it Paestum in 273 BC. The most captivating feature is the Sacred area, which hosts three stunning Greek Doric temples—two honouring Hera and one dedicated to Athena. This expansive archaeological location is home to various structures, including temples, a Roman forum, an amphitheatre, and a museum.
We suggest hiring a knowledgeable English-speaking guide to fully appreciate the rich history of this site, and we are available to assist you in arranging this service. Next, your driver will escort you to the second highlight of your journey: the Paestum region, famed for its buffalo mozzarella cheese. You'll visit a renowned cheese factory to observe the production process and savour this delicious speciality for lunch.
Recommendations: wear comfortable footwear, and during the summer, apply sunscreen and bring a hat.
