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.

    Maria and our driver were fantastic! Maria was very engaging on the drive and gave lots of interesting facts and old myths about where we were driving through. The four stops on the trip were great - highly recommend this tour, especially if you have the chance to do the sunset timing; the sunset view from the temple of Poseidon is breathtaking.

  • Sunset view of the Temple of Posideon

    friendly and knowledgeable guide. timely pickup. stopped for an hour at beach along the way. a bathroom stop on the way back would be useful, as there is only one at the site and its unavailable/long line at leaving time (several tour groups leaving at once).
