About this activity

A private walking tour in Policoro offers a unique and intimate way to discover the rich history and culture of this hidden gem in southern Italy. Far from the busy tourist routes, this personalized experience allows you to soak in the local atmosphere at your own pace. Begin your journey with a visit to the Archaeological Museum of Siritide, where an impressive collection of ceramics, votive statues, and burial artifacts reveals the ancient roots of the region. Each piece in the museum tells a story of daily life, ritual, and craftsmanship from the time of the Greek colonies, giving you a deeper connection to the area's past.

Your exploration continues at the Siris-Heraclea Archaeological Park, where the ruins of the ancient acropolis of Heraclea come to life beneath your feet. Wander through sacred spaces like the urban sanctuaries of Dionysus and Demeter, where age-old rituals and beliefs once flourished. The tour concludes with a peaceful visit to the Sanctuary of Santa Maria d'Anglona, the last standing monument of the ancient city of Anglona. Set atop a hill between the Agri and Sinni rivers, the sanctuary offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and features exquisite frescoes inspired by Old Testament scenes—an unforgettable ending to a journey through time.
