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.

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 is a very nice half day tour out of Athens city center. It's a small tour so you may even have a chance to meet similar like minded people, which I always like since I'm a solo traveler and welcome the chance to speak with others and have people offer to take a photo. The company is Getaways and the tour giver was Stephanie, who was super nice and driver Pericles, who dealt with the morning traffick patiently. The Temple of Poseidon is nice and while it's a short spot, the surrounding areas also also nice photo opportunities. The second spot is a nice beach area with a seafood restaurant, quite nice and serene with clear waters for a quick dip, there is a restroom and even a shower, but I just dipped my toes in. The limited time means if you want a meal, you're probably not going to get a long swim in, or at least prepare a towel to quickly dry off! I'm very surprised by the scenic spots with the limited time, can't go wrong if you have free from the morning till the early afternoon!

I got picked up at my hotel. Everyone just made sure the trip was all about fun… the little lunch/drink break by the sea coast was just a massive bonus. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone.
