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.

Bring your swimwear and beach towels in case you wish to swim during our beach stop (May to October)

Kindly notice that the beach stop is available from early May to late October. 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.

    This was one of my favourite tours. The sunset Tour. It was magical and absolutely breath-taking. Kids enjoyed the mythological aspect of the tour and our guide, Anna, had a contagious positive energy that made the tour worth every cent.

  • Pleased whole family!

    The tour was great. Communication with the operator was excellent and they even include a link with a vehicle tracker so you know when it will pick you up. The tour makes two big stops, at the beach, for swimming or dinner at the beach bar, and at the Temple of Poseidon for the sunset.

  • Fantastic and fabulous evening!!

    The stops on the trip were great, especially sunset at the temple and Maria, our leader was very knowledgeable. But this was our third trip with Getaways Greece, and logistically the worst. It took 45 minutes to pick everyone up from their hotels, and one group were 10 minutes late. The mini bus was not well air conditioned compared to the ones on our other two trips so we were very hot during the journey. We requested it be made cooler, but this was not possible. There was cold water available on the bus, but if was not offered like on the other trips, we had to ask for it. On the other trips we did, those picked up first on the way there, were dropped off first on the way back. But this was not the case on this trip, so having been one of the first to be picked up, we had another 45 mins of dropping everyone else off when we got back to Athens, which was frustrating.
