Paestum

Todays adventure was to Paestum which contains three of the best-preserved ancient Greek temples in the world. The first Temple of Hera, the oldest of the three temples, built around 550 BC. The Temple of Athena 500 BC and the second Temple of Hera built 450 BC. Originally it was called Poseidonia by the Ancient Greek colonizers. The name was later changed by the Romans to Paestum. Paestum is situated about halfway between Naples and Scalea. I walked an hour each way from the train station to the site. Luckily the weather was gorgeous.
