Depart from the port of Agropoli with a deluxe a/c coach for a 15 minute ride to Paestum. This city was founded by the Greeks around 600 b.c. dedicated to Poseidon the god of the sea, and was occupied by the Lucans, an Italic population, in 400 b.c. until 273 b.c. when it became a roman colony with the name of "Paestum".
Paestum
It's three temples and the famous paintings in the local museum are the only example of Greek architecture and arts we have in Italy,
and preserved better than the Greek "Partenone".The city was discovered under the marsh and the brushwood thanks to the king of Naples
"Charles of Borbon III" during the 17th century.
Walking through this ancient moment of history and looking at these imposing and gorgeous structures will leave an impression in people's mind of the best example of what the Greek culture was in the past.
