Cape Sounio Temple of Poseidon & Athenian Riviera Tour(+swimming)

Overview

Mobile ticket

What makes this experience unique is that we are about to enjoy it not in a typical " touristic" way, but the way greeks do it.

SWIMMING AND GREEK LUNCH : as a local i know the best spots for food and swimming ( only few know): after the coffee break we will enjoy swimming at one of the best beaches in athens and then taste the delicious greek cuisine( fresh seafood or " souvlaki) at the best local tavernas.i was in the restaurant bussiness for years so i know the best tavernas in town.

SOUNION TEMPLE OF THE POSEIDON:

the second part of the experience, Temple of poseidon at Sounio, will amaze us for two reasons: firstly because of its architectural and historical uniqueness and secondly because it is located on an edge cliff , where you can see the aegean sea in front of you.The view of the aegean will become much more impressive during the sunset.ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE..i am looking forward to showing the beauties of greece.

Konstantinos pours his whole heart into the experience, which made this tour truly memorable! He’s energetic, engaging, and genuinely wants everyone to have a beautiful time. You can tell he takes great pride in his country and all that he offers, going above and beyond to make it special. The drive along the Athenian Riviera was gorgeous, and we stopped for coffee and sweets in his hometown, a personal touch that made the journey feel even more authentic. The Temple of Poseidon at sunset is undoubtedly the highlight of the tour… so magnificent in its presence with breathtaking views of the cape, the golden light of the sunset, and the incredible energy radiating from the ancient majestic columns dedicated to the God of the Sea ~ Pure Magic! Afterward, we went to a locals restaurant for dinner and stayed well beyond the planned itinerary. It’s rare to meet a guide so devoted to making sure everyone is seen, included and cared for. If you’re looking for a passionate and enthusiastic guide who treats his guests like honored friends, and teaches you so much about Greek history, customs, laws and even current affairs, Konstantinos is your man! If you’re in Athens, this is a MUST while you’re there ♡
Fantastic tour with an awesome guide!

Our driver was Fotis Georgarras. He made our group of 6(3+2+1) feel like a friends on a tour with their old friend Fotis driving. He is very knowledgeable and passionate in sharing the history of mythology and the people of Hellas. The Temple of Poseidon was the highlight of the day. Fotis made sure our coffee and cake stop and our lunch after were perfect. Thanks for the memories. Joe & Peggy Robinson
Thank you, Fostis, for a perfect tour

Fostis is a great guide and host. Our day was exactly as described in the tour description. It included the drive along the Greek Riviera, a stop at a beautiful lake, a breakfast bakery brake, a beach stop, an additional photo stop, Sounio Temple visit, and lunch at a traditional taverna Fostis really looked after the group, providing us with a perfect combination of sightseeing and knowledge of Greek history, culture, and general information in a very entertaining way. The June 1st morning small group tour was composed of an exceptionally nice group of participants. This was one of the best tours I ever had!
Great day out in Athens Riviera

Fotis was a very energetic, passionate and engaging guide who seemed to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of Greek history and mythology. The stories he shared were funny, informative and memorable. He took us to some great local spots and eateries which we wouldn’t have been able to find on our own. He also went above and beyond to provide us with some great recommendations in the area. We highly recommend this tour, it was truly Greek (Hellas) hosting at its finest!
