Salerno e Scavi di Paestum

The city of Salerno and the Greek ruins of “Paestum” are reached by public transport or with our excursions service. Starting from the apartment by bus, “Victor’s House” organises the excursion to reach the medieval town of Salerno first.

After some free time in Salerno, you go to “Paestum”, the city founded by the Greeks and named after Poseidon, the sea god to whom it was dedicated. During the time of the ancient Greeks the two “Basilica” (Temple) of Poseidon and of Ceres were built. They are considered to be the most beautiful examples of their kind, and better preserved than the “Acropolis” of Athens.

Enjoy a very informative guided tour of this beautiful archaeological site and time permitting, visit the nearby museum containing sculptures and site exhibits.
