Paestum holidays are a journey into ancient Italy, where history meets serenity in a truly unique setting. This UNESCO World Heritage site is home to three of the best-preserved Greek temples in the world, standing in quiet splendour amidst open countryside.
Once called Poseidonia, the city’s Greek and Roman roots are visible everywhere – from its grand ruins to the fascinating museum filled with frescoes, ceramics and artefacts.
Beyond the history, Paestum offers a laid-back vibe with nearby cafés and shops perfect for a post-exploration rest. It’s an ideal spot for culture lovers and curious travellers.
For a peaceful, awe-inspiring break steeped in the past, Paestum holidays promise something unforgettable.
