We will pick you up at your hotel in Pisciotta or at the established meeting point. From there, we will head to the archaeological site of Velia in the municipality of Ascea Marina.

Upon arrival, we will visit the remains of this ancient site known as Velia to the Romans and Elea to the Greeks. The tour includes a walk through the agora of Velia, a space associated with philosophers of the Eleatic school, such as Parmenides, Zeno, and Melissus.

Additionally, we will see the acropolis of Elea and the Tower of Velia, a medieval Angevin construction. The site also hosts theatrical performances in the summer.

Another highlight is the Porta Rosa, the only example of a 4th century Greek arch and an architectural jewel of its time.
