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.

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.

    I chose this because it was semi private and had a stop at the beach. The beach was lovely but the sand was more like dirt so I did not get in the water. The food was okay at the cafe but they never brought me half of my food i and the waiter was kind of a jerk...Certainly nothing to do with the tour company though. The van was very cramped and tight with people and it was a curvy road so if you get seasick easily I would not suggest this trip. The sunset was lovely but we literally were just there a few minutes and as soon as the sun set we ran back to the van. I wish I had gone ahead and sprung for the private tour but this one was much cheaper. Not bad for the money though
