A thrilling experience.. I agree with previous reviewers that it was an exceptional experience. It was a good combination of viewing the Greek Temples outside in situ and then touring a magnificent museum that was a gem. A very exceptional and satisfying day.

If you are in Naples or on the Amalfi Coast, take a day and visit the Greek and Roman Ruins of Paestum. The trip is well worth it. Make sure to go into the Archaeological Museum and see the antiquities.

A superb museum, covering the hstory & artefacts of the area from prehistoric times, through Greek occupation, to the Romans. The quality of the pottery exhibits is stunning, and the tombs exhibition is first-rate.

In November we had to buy our tickets to the site at the museum so decided to look around. It provided an excellent in-depth explanation of the site and there was an extensive display of artifacts. Check it out!

The ruins at Paestum are impressive, though not as much to see as Pompeii. The Museum has a good selection of artefacts, and the main thoroughfare is pedestrianised, with plenty of shops, bars, and gelaterias. It's about a half hour walk to the beach, where you will find restaurants and hotels.

Don't miss it if visiting Paestum. The tombs are a highlight, not just the diver. Well laid out in a beautiful building. Great stuff - very informative and amazing
