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.

We allow 19 travelers per Product. Since Viator allows only 15 persons per booking, If you are a group of more than 15 persons , you can book seperately but still be in one group on the same minibus. Just put this as a remark in your booking.

Please note that the beach stop operates from early May to late October, depending on the weather and the specific date when the time changes between summer and winter time, and vice versa. You are welcome to use the public beach area and the public changing rooms, bathrooms, and showers at no cost. However, if you wish to use organized facilities such as sunbeds, umbrellas, etc., additional fees will apply, payable directly to the beach businesses that provide these services. Our agency is not affiliated with these businesses, and these costs are not included in our activity.

The exact opening and closing dates of our beach stop vary each year, depending on several factors. If you're planning to visit in early May or late October and want to confirm if we're operating the beach stop, feel free to send us a message through the Viator messaging section.

Consumption of food and beverages is prohibited inside the vehicles besides water. Designated stops during the tour will provide opportunities to eat and drink

Participants are expected to carry no more than a backpack. If you have luggage that requires trunk space, please inform us in advance of the activity date so we can arrange the appropriate vehicle and pickup location

    It was a nice excursion. The stops along the way were interesting but the main attraction is the sunset at the Temple. Keep in mind you need to pay extra to get up close to the temple and view the sunset.

    The tour guide was extremely knowledgable and gave us a lot of history and background. I wish we spent a little less time at the beach so that we could spend more time at Temple of Poseidon but overall was a good trip.

    While sold as hotel pickup, we had to walk 15 minutes to and from our pickup spot (due to closed streets in the area of our hotel.) Since we were nearly the last pickup on a very full tour, I was seated in the very back of the bus with a wheel keeping my feet from touching the ground for 1.5 hours each way. Very uncomfortable on curvy roads. Information provided that you should plan to pack a picnic dinner was somewhat misleading - there were several food options at the beach where we stopped.

  • Beautiful drive down the coast
