YOUR EXCURSION:

Tucked in between mountains and sea , Amalfi is a perennial favourite with visitors for its scenic beauty and original architecture. It also has a glorious history as a powerful maritime republic. In the serene blue of the sky and sea, Amalfi, guarded by its port, seems held in the palm of a hand. The town of Amalfi, clinging to the slopes of the coast, is characterised by the famous Duomo (9th century). Its scenic position at the top of steep stairs give a particular flavour to Amalfi's historic center.

Ancient Poseidonia, founded by Greek colonists around 600 BC, became the Roman colony of Paestum in 273BC. This ancient site was first unearthed in the 18th century during the building of a road , but most of it remained undiscovered until the 1950s. In Paestum there are three important temples ( Temple of Neptune, Temple of Hera, Temples of Ceres) and the famous frescoes from the 5th century BC "TOMB OF DIVER".
