Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Archaeological Park of Paestum, 84047 Paestum, Capaccio-Paestum Italy
Paestum was a major centre of the Magna Grecia. The oldest traces of human settlement dates back to the Palaeolithic site. During the Imperial Age, Paestum began a long and gradual decline, until the final abandonment in the eighth century, due to swamping in the area. The Roman town, however, had its forum here, with the rally, the temple of the Capitoline Triad , the Basilica.
The entire archaeological area of the city is included in the UNESCO list of sites of worldwide interest, preserved as a heritage of humanity. Near the town at the mouth of the Sele, you can admire the ruins of the sanctuary of Hera (Heraion), one of the most important Greek sanctuaries on Italian soil. The sacred area incorporates, in addition to several secondary buildings, a major temple and a smaller building, called the Treasury, decorated with carved metopes now conserved in the Museum.

A fascinating chance to see both Greek and Roman history in an up close and uncrowded manner. The tour was top notch from the multiple pickup / drop-off locations around Sorrento to the great guide and driver. And as an added bonus, because these ruins aren't visited as much as those within Rome or Athens you get a chance to spend the time you want that you wouldn't get at those more congested locations.
