Question 1

What makes Paestum's Greek temples so special?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Question 3

Beyond the temples what else can I see at the Paestum archaeological site?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Is Paestum suitable for families with children?

Question 5

What's the best time of day to visit Paestum?

Question 7

Can I combine Paestum with a beach visit during summer?

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.

Question 8

What makes visiting Paestum with Daytrip better than public transportation?

Accepted Answer
