Cape Sounion & Temple of Poseidon Half-Day or Sunset Tour with Flexible Options

Exclusive to your group alone, sit back in comfort as your informative tour driver takes you through some of Athens most beautiful suburbs and along the amazing views of the Saronic Gulf. On reaching the 5th Century BC Temple of Poseidon you will see its stunning panoramic views over the Aegean sea and out towards seven islands. Learn how the Aegean got its name, its importance in Greek history, and of previous visitors from Theseus to Lord Byron during his own Grand Tour. 

Additional Booking options allow you to add either lunch (Gold package); or an extended 6 to 7-hour Tour with lunch and time for a stop at Lake Vouliagmeni Thermal Springs (Platinum package).

Your informative & professional Tour driver will be at your Hotel reception, residence or disembarkation point promptly to escort you on your tour. If you prefer a tour at sunset we will advise on your Athens departure time according to the time of the sunset in Sounio.

The Athens Riviera: Your journey heads to the Athens Riviera with its many popular beaches & restaurants as well as experiencing many of Athens distinct neighbourhoods along the way such as Palaion Faliro, Glyfada, Vouliagmeni and Varkiza before continuing to the tip of the Athens Peninsula with breath-taking sea views along the coastal route.

The Attica region is surrounded on 3 sides by the sea so no wonder that dozens of beaches are available. The best ones are found along the so called ‘Athens Riviera’ along your route and are more organised but there are also many further towards The Temple of Poseidon if you prefer something quieter. Whatever your beach preference, just let your driver know & he will include the best option for a swim!

At the southernmost point of the Peninsula of Athens we come to the Temple of Poseidon. Located 70 meters on a clifftop this amazing temple was dedicated to the God Poseidon. It was the last thing Ancient sailors saw on leaving port & the first site on their return. Rich in myth and legend, you will learn many of its associated stories as well as its fascinating history.

If choosing the extended (platinum) package you will have the time to enjoy this natural rock formation & small lake which is set just off the sea front. The waters of this spring have been used by locals for decades as a health treatment & you will have the option of stopping here for a swim. The site is also equipped with changing faclities.

At the end of your tour you will be returned on time to your Athens residence, or cruise ship. For those with flights the tour makes a perfect ending to your time in Greece & we can take your luggage along and drop you at the airport as convenient. Please ask for additional cost for airport transfer.
