What makes Sounion (Poseidon Temple) – Private Sunset Tour from Athens a unique experience ?
During our afternoon tour we will drive through some of the most scenic suburbs of Athens, following a coastal road. Our first stop will be at the Vouliagmeni Lake, the hidden treasure of the ‘Athenian Riviera’.
In an idyllic location, the lake is part of a rare geological phenomenon, having been revealed after the collapse of the roof of a cave, caused by an earthquake millions of years ago. Lake Vouliagmeni has a steady temperature all around the year, ranging between 18 and 24 Celcius, and its water is brackish, as underground sea water is mixed with the water of a spring. This makes it an ideal location for swimmers who visit the lake to profit from its water, rich in minerals. (Short stop- no time for swimming in this tour)
Sounion, an impressive rocky promontory, is the southernmost point of Attica region. It is located approx. 60 Km away from Athens city centre. It is most famous for its imposing ancient Temple of Poseidon and its breathtaking sunset view, overlooking the Aegean Sea. Admire the beautiful sunset colors in the sky, from the highest point of the hill.
