This tour combines the most important Greek archaeological sites in Campania: Cuma and Paestum.
Cuma, a Greek settlement lying to the northwest of Naples, was the first Greek colony on the mainland of Italy (Magna Graecia), and the seat of the Cumaean Sibyl. It was the Cumaean alphabet, as used throughout the Greek island of Euboea, that was adopted in Italy, first by the Etruscans and then by the Romans, thus becoming the Latin alphabet, the world's most widely used phonemic script.
Paestum is well konwn above all for the three major temples in Doric style, dating from the first half of the VI century BC.
