What To Expect

Temple of Poseidon

Set out to a private sunset day trip to Cape Sounion. Our trip starts with a wonderful drive along the Athens Rivera. During this relaxing ride you’ll enjoy splendid views of the Saronic Gulf while passing through some of Athens’ most beautiful suburbs, including Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza. Arriving at the Cape Sounion, you will visit the 5th century B.C. Temple of Poseidon with its magnificent panoramic view of the Aegean Sea (on a clear day you can see several islands). Cape Sounion has long played an important part in Greek mythology and history, and the first recorded mention of it occurs in the Odyssey, as the last safe landing before Poseidon scattered the returning Greek navy. As god of the sea, Poseidon was very important for ancient Greeks, and the scale of the Temple at Cape Sounion reflects that. After visiting the Temple, filled from the beauty, the history and the culture of this site you are set to admire one of the most amazing sunsets you could ever imagine. Similarly, when the sun begins to slowly touch the sea it is the perfect moment for a glass of wine, before having your dinner in a scenic, nearby seafront tavern. Absorb the far-reaching views over the Aegean and take unique photos. On your way back, enjoy a delicious waffle with ice cream that only locals know.

Sounion at sunset is truly breathtaking. We were ultimately glad we came. BUT: that said, i have mixed feelings about the tour operation itself. On the one hand the organizers easily accommodated a last minute request to postpone our visit by a day to accommodate an unexpected scheduling issue. So thanks for that. But for them to schedule pick ups at 5 pm from central Athens in the autumn for a sunset tour leaves no room for anything to go wrong. Which alas in our case it did. Due to traffic, our guide was 15 minutes late getting to us and the same traffic added another 15 minutes delay getting out of the city center. So even with rushing make up for lost time, upon arrival the Temple was closed (last entry is 20 min BEFORE sunset — be sure to check the time for the date you plan to visit — lesson learned!) as the sun had just about set by the time we arrived even with the driver skipping all of the fun stops along the way that you read in other reviews. (No lake visit, no special waffle ice cream. Etc). Likewise dinner on the way back was at a pleasant tavern but as it was now the dark of night we couldn’t see anything from our seaside table. With all these disappointments our driver clearly felt bad for us (as she kept telling us.) Bottom line I think the fault was not with the driver but with the tour operator who should have realized that with ever-earlier sunsets in the autumn , keeping to the same 5 pm start time as in June or July is just a bad planning mistake. We were just too rushed and late — sad that the tour planning detracted from the truly remarkable beauty of the place.
