Walk among three of the best-preserved Doric temples on Earth with a working archaeologist, not a script-reader. This is Cilento's true bucket-list morning.
What to expect
You'll walk the sacred way between the Temple of Hera, the Temple of Neptune and the Basilica as the sun climbs, your guide pointing out construction details invisible to the untrained eye. Afterward, the small on-site museum houses the famous 5th-century BC Tomb of the Diver fresco. It's unhurried, shaded where possible, and finishes with time to spare.
Good to know
Paestum is roughly 40 minutes by private car from Agropoli port; book the archaeologist guide in advance for morning slots before tour buses arrive. Return well ahead of all-aboard by mid-afternoon.
