Experience the beauty of Greece with our Cape Sounion and Temple of Poseidon tour, available in both morning and sunset options. Each tour offers a unique way to see this stunning area, complete with picturesque photo stops like the picturesque Vouliagmeni Lake.

The drive itself is a treat, showcasing the sparkling Saronic Gulf and charming suburbs of Athens. The main attraction, the Temple of Poseidon, sits majestically on the cliffs of Cape Sounion, where history and myth come alive.

As the sun dips below the horizon, the sky and sea are painted with vibrant colors, creating a magical backdrop for the ancient temple. It's a breathtaking sight and perfect for memorable photos.

From early May to late October, both tours include a beach stop for a refreshing swim and a leisurely seaside lunch.

Ideal for history buffs, nature lovers, or anyone looking for a unique day out, this tour is a wonderful way to explore the Greek coastline and its ancient wonders.

    This is a fun, thoughtfully designed half-day tour just outside Athens — with Aegean Sea swimming (and fewer tourists than other beaches), a striking photo stop at a volcanic lake, and a breathtaking sunset at the Temple of Poseidon. Our guide, Maria, was warm and deeply knowledgeable, and our driver, Andy, handled weekend traffic with ease. A great way to experience a different side of Athens! One suggestion for the tour company: Consider more strongly encouraging those guests to who are not eligible for a pick-up at their own hotel (due to being in or adjacent to a pedestrian zone) to meet at a central location early on the pick-up route, especially near a metro stop. This is often more convenient and faster for guests and drivers (cutting down on traffic and waiting time delays), Your advice and expertise on this is especially welcome to first-time Athens visitors who rely on your guidance. Cheers!

  • A great half day tour for some relax and history
