Meet your personal PhD archaeologist guide and set off on a journey through time. Explore the ancient city of Poseidonia, founded by the Greeks in the 7th century BC. Learn about its evolution from a Greek city to a Roman one as you wander through the ruins of temples dedicated to Athena, Hera, Apollo, and Zeus.

Visit the Heroon, the tomb of the mythical founder hero of the Greek city, and explore the Roman Forum and residential area. Hear fascinating stories about the city’s history and its significance in Greek and Roman times.

Next, head to the National Museum of Paestum, home to some of the most important artefacts from Greek and Roman times. Admire the painted Tomb of the Diver, a masterpiece from 2500 years ago, and see the stone frieze that once decorated the temple of Hera. Discover artefacts produced as offerings for gods, armour and weapons of Roman warriors, and beautifully painted tombs.

Throughout the tour, ask your guide any questions you have about archaeology and Greek mythology.
