Overview
South of the famed Amalfi Coast lies the breathtaking region of Cilento, where history whispers through the windswept ruins of Paestum. Once a thriving city of Magna Graecia, Paestum stood as a powerful political and economic hub as the Greeks expanded their influence across the southern Mediterranean. Today, it stands as a UNESCO World Heritage site, preserving the grandeur of an ancient civilization.
Here, three magnificent Doric temples—among the best-preserved in the world outside of Agrigento, Sicily—rise against the sky, their columns bearing witness to over 2,500 years of history. Dating from approximately 600 to 450 BC, these sacred structures, along with the vast remains of an ancient amphitheater—one of the largest in southern Italy—offer a rare glimpse into the past. The site is also home to a remarkable archaeological museum, where a wealth of artifacts from the ancient world tells the story of a lost era.
Today, the ruins of Paestum rest in the modern hamlet of the same name, nestled within the comune of Capaccio in the Province of Salerno. Just beyond the ancient stones, the present-day coastal town beckons with its golden beaches and tranquil seaside charm.
Our exclusive private tours of Cilento and Paestum invite you to step back in time and explore one of the most extraordinary Greek temple sites outside of Greece. Led by an expert local English-speaking driver-guide, you’ll journey through spectacular coastal landscapes, uncovering the region’s rich history and indulging in its celebrated cuisine—an experience where the past and present merge in unforgettable harmony.
