Overview

Traveling along the coast, we head to the southernmost tip of the peninsula of Attica, Cape Sounion, a getaway close to Athens and famous for its beaches, fish restaurants and the striking ruins of the Temple of Poseidon. Set high atop a cliff rising above the Aegean Sea, the temple forms part of a trio of ancient sites, including the Acropolis, and the Temple of Aphaea on the Greek island of Aegina. Equal distances from each other as the crow flies, on a clear day you may be able to see all the monuments from the others. Sounio is also where Aegeus tragically fell from the cliffs when he saw the black sails that his son had forgotten to change, therefore believing he had died. The Aegean Sea was thus named after him. It is a beautiful place to watch the sunset, the white marble columns framed by the sky and the lovely blue sea!

Amazing, comprehensive tours with knowledgeable drivers and guides.

5.00Amazing experience! We could not have asked for a better private tours then those we experienced with CATTAXI. After schedule a 5 hours tour of Athens with CATTAXI which was amazing we decided to contact Terry to ask for a driver for the next day. Terry at CATTAXI was able to provide not only a driver but a tour guide for our trip to the Temple of Poseidon and Sounio. Traveling with my husband who has mobility issues can be a challenge. Terry provide a wheelchair, at no extra cost, to ensure my husband would enjoy the tours. Each day the driver spoke with security guards, explained our situation and were given permission to us off at the closest location to the entrance of the sites. At the Acropolis on our first tour that meant driving right up to the entrance to the elevator. You can imagine the smile on my husband's face when the driver brought him in the wheelchair to the top of the Temple of Poseidon. He never expected to experience these sites up close. The kindness and compassion shown by Terry and his drivers and guide went beyond our expectations. The vehicles he provided were new models Mercedes vans and extremely clean. Each day the drivers provided us with cold water throughout the tour. Even though we scheduled 5 hours each day our tour ran over but it was not a problem. They want you to enjoy the tour and ensure you see everything you want to see. The drivers also know great photo op stops along the way and restaurant suggestions should you want to stop for lunch. CATTAXI was also the most reasonable as far a price but also the easiest to schedule and do business wtih compared to others. I would highly recommend CATTAXI if you want the most comprehensive, stress free tour while in Athens.
Panos Made Our Trip to Greece Unforgettable

5.00From the moment Panos picked us up at the Athens airport, we knew we were in the best hands. Over the course of our trip, he drove us on four separate occasions — including a full-day journey out to Cape Sounion to visit Poseidon’s Temple and relax at a beach club. Not only was he punctual and professional, but he also waited on standby all day to make sure we were comfortable and cared for. That level of dedication is rare. Panos speaks excellent English and is one of the kindest, most thoughtful people we’ve encountered in all our travels. He’s warm, personable, and genuinely passionate about sharing his beautiful country with others. On our final ride, he even surprised us with sweet gifts, a gesture that was completely unexpected and incredibly touching. I cried. Having Panos as our driver felt like having a trusted friend by our side. He elevated our experience in Greece and gave us a sense of safety, connection, and joy that we’ll never forget. If you’re lucky enough to book with him, know that you’re not just getting a ride, you’re getting a genuinely wonderful human who will make your trip better in every possible way.
Excellent, worry free service

5.00I used Catt taxi for airport transfers so decided to reach out about a ride to Poseidon’s temple last minute. He responded right away and gave me a full itinerary and said he’d pick me up in a few hours. It worked out perfect for my group! Terry ensured we had no worries and that all our expectations were exceeded. Catt is great for airport transfers as well!
Outstanding Athens Tours and Transfers
vg247,Jun 14, 2025

5.00Terry and the Cattaxi team have been outstanding in all ways visitors look for. Prior to our arrival in Greece, he was very responsive to all our questions via email from the United States. Once in Athens he was always communicating with us within minutes on our phone texts for all our details for transfers and especially on our half day personal tour at the Cape of Sounion , Temple of Poseidon trip. During this trip we met our driver and guide - PANOS T (Greek spelling is Panagiotis P) a very personable, most friendly, multilingual well traveled host for 5 hours. Panos spoke English very well, drove perfectly and phenomenally safe. He always took his time not because it is his job but you can see the passion in his customer service and commitment. Ideally this tour is for sunset, and Panos made sure we had ample of time for that and more. He made sure we were never rushed and went above and beyond to make our time all that we had wished for and more until our return at the hotel. Overall, Terry, Panos and the team here are the golden standard for all your travel and tour needs in the area. The transportation vehicle was in perfect condition and handled very well for all terrains, and ensures comfort for everyone in addition to Panos driving expertise. When in Greece this will always be our go to for all transfers and any tours.
Absolutely recommend!

5.00CATTaxi delivers. All drivers showed up promptly and very easy to communicate a plane change with the service and they adjusted pick up time. We used them four times. All the cars were clean and appeared like regular taxis. I am so glad we used them and took stress out of the equation in Athens. The form to fill out request for service can be a little tricky. Reaching out to them on WhatsApp made it easy to confirm everything as needed. I highly recommend!

5.00One of the most beautiful places on Earth. I want to return again and again and again. Could have stayed so much longer. I recommend going for a daytrip here and not as a short stop with a bus. It's a place that deserves that you spend some hours there.

5.00Terry at CatTaxi was OUTSTANDING. We found him on the Greece Travel Planning website. I communicated with CatTaxi via phone, text, and email, six months before our trip to Greece. The drivers, the van, the guide, etc., were perfect. There were 7 people in our party and we were very impressed by the professionalism and kindness of CatTaxi. HIGHLY recommend this company. We loved Cape Sounio, the Athens City Tour, and the tour of the Acropolis.
Don’t book anyone else

5.00If you are in Athens and looking for an amazingly articulate, informed and entertaining tour please do not look any further. Terry was a fabulous raconteur, entertaining both myself and my 15yo daughter throughout our 5 hour tour around Athens and onto The Cape. He was thoughtful, engaged and willing to go the extra mile. I cannot recommend CAT highly enough.
Immaculate Service

5.00We use the services of Cattaxi as transfer from the airport and on the private ride to Cape Sunion. At the cable our driver was Terry who was actually a perfect guide, telling us the whole story. He also took us to a typical restaurant and was very attentive. I'm using the services for all transfers as well. Excellent!
Amazing Experience

4.00This was a great experience from end to end. We were picked up on time, in a very comfortable sedan. Our driver, Aristotle, was clearly very experienced. Our journey to and from the Cape was very enjoyable. Ari was knowledgeable, but did not dominate he conversation. The Cape and Temple area are simply stunning and to be there at sunset was a truly memorable experience. As the sun set it provided a very surreal experience, made even better by the contrast of the sun setting behind one of the Islands and the golden rays kissing the columns of Poseidon. After sunset Ari allowed us time to enjoy a leisurely drink, thereby avoiding the traffic headed back to Athens. Not to be missed.
