A simple way to discover the temples of Paestum
A guided tour is particularly suitable for first-time visitors who want to understand the history and architecture of the temples rather than simply walking through the site independently.
The guide provides historical context for the different monuments and explains how Poseidonia changed from a Greek colony into a Lucanian and later Roman city.
With a maximum of 20 participants, the group remains relatively small, making it easier to follow the guide during the visit.

The guide will be holding an ASKOS TOURS sign. Simply show your smartphone ticket at the meeting point.
