From Athens: Temple of Poseidon & Cape Sounion Small Group Tour

Leave Athens for a trip to Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon, with round-trip travel in an air-conditioned minivan and hotel pickup & drop-off.

An English-speaking tour leader and driver share local insights along the way, helping you make the most of your time on the scenic coastal route.

At the Temple of Poseidon, wander among the ancient columns, trace carvings, and capture wide views across the Aegean Sea from the headland above you. Continue to Cape Sounion’s shoreline to stroll the seaside paths, pause for photos over the water, or spend free time relaxing beside the beach.

Choose between a small group morning departure or a small group sunset schedule to match the tour timing to your preferred light and energy.
