Temple of Athena

Reviewed By LotsaTraveling - Stony Brook, United States

We were very impressed by the magnitude and splendor of this temple. Apart from the Greek ruins in Athens, this was the most impressive and well preserved Greek ruins that I’ve seen in my travels. It’s a bit treacherous walking around the site but the views and photos were amazing.

Archaeological Park of Paestum

Founded by Greek colonists, the ancient city of Poseidonia dates from 600 B.C. It was abandoned for centuries, but the remarkably well-preserved Greek temples were excavated in the mid-18th century.

Reviewed By 928massimom - Monza, Italy

3 large Greek temples still standing, a walled Greek and Roman city, absolutely incredible. So much less publicised than other places like Pompeii but no less impressive. The park is almost empty and you can just take your time and explore. The museum opposite is very interesting but prepare for a 30-40 minute wait due to covid distancing. Massive (patronising) tip: if you're going in the summer, bring a bottle of water with you into the park ????

Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Paestum

Reviewed By GayO_11 - Hayward, United States

The museum has an excellent array of artifacts, stone tablets, displays and information about this wonderful archeological site. Don't skip it. The walk through and around the temple ruins is amazing, taking you back hundreds of years. If you are driving, parking is available for a reasonable fee, but be aware that some of the roads are ZTL zones where cars are not permitted.

5. Anfiteatro Romano di Paestum

Anfiteatro Romano di Paestum

Reviewed By MFD_1980

Part of the Paestum ruins is the amphitheatre which could be missed or confused with the council seating.
