A 2-hour private guided tour in Paestum is highly recommended to enhance your understanding of this incredible site—please check with us for rates. After exploring the ruins, visit the National Archaeological Museum, which houses a rich collection of local Greek artworks from the 7th century BC. Among the museum's highlights are the exquisite frescoes from the Tomb of the Diver and the stunning, red-figured krater of Asteas, showcasing the artistic heritage of Magna Graecia.
