Know more about your day trip
Paestum boasts three of the world's best-preserved ancient Greek temples dating from 550-450 BC. The Temple of Neptune (actually dedicated to Hera) is considered the most perfect Doric temple in existence rivaling even those in Greece itself in terms of preservation and architectural harmony.
The drive from Naples to Paestum takes approximately 1.5 hours each way along the coastal roads. With a private Daytrip transfer, you'll travel comfortably without navigating public transportation connections or parking challenges.
The archaeological site also includes an ancient Greek theater, remnants of residential areas, paved streets, the Roman forum, and sections of the original city walls. The on-site National Archaeological Museum displays exquisite finds, including the famous "Tomb of the Diver" fresco pottery and artifacts from daily life.
Paestum is an excellent site for families as the open spaces allow children to move freely while absorbing ancient history. The imposing temples and museum exhibits typically captivate visitors of all ages and the site's compact nature makes it manageable even with younger children.
Morning visits (before 11 AM) or late afternoon (after 3 PM) offer the best experience with fewer crowds and more comfortable temperatures, especially in summer. The golden light of late afternoon creates particularly beautiful photography conditions, illuminating the honey-colored limestone temples.
The area around Paestum is famous for producing buffalo mozzarella, and several excellent restaurants near the archaeological site serve fresh local cuisine. Some establishments even offer views of the temples while dining. Ask your Daytrip driver for recommendations based on your preferences.
Yes, the coastline near Paestum features beautiful sandy beaches that are less crowded than those closer to Naples. With a private Daytrip you can easily adjust your itinerary to include a refreshing swim in the Tyrrhenian Sea after exploring the archaeological site.
A private Daytrip offers door-to-door convenience, flexible timing, and the ability to stop at interesting points along the journey, such as buffalo mozzarella farms or coastal viewpoints. You'll maximize your time at Paestum rather than dealing with infrequent train connections or navigating unfamiliar roads.
