The bus was comfortable the guide was kind and interesting. I wished for 30 more minutes at the site. I felt a bit rushed to see everything.

Your Experience

Embark upon a unique half-day guided tour to Cape Sounion, a revered archeological site with plenty of sights to offer. Your tour will start off with a drive along the Athens Rivera on a comfortable air-conditioned bus. Enjoy splendid views of the Saronic Gulf while passing along some of Greece’s stunning suburbs like the Hellinikon Olympic complex, Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza.

Your 4 hour-long tour begins at the Temple of Poseidon, one of the best-preserved temples from the Golden Age of Athens. Poseidon is the Greek God of the sea and plays a vital role for ancient Greeks. Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea at the end of Cape Sounion, the temple stands at an elevation of 60 meters. Notice graffiti left behind by Lord Byron and soak up the stunning panoramic views of the Aegean Sea while you’re here. You will also get a chance to take a close look at the Doric architecture of the structure from the Archaic period. If you've opted for the sunset tour, brace yourself for one of the most beautiful sunsets you’ve ever seen! Glass of wine in hand, watch the sun slowly touch the sea as you commemorate the moment with a photograph.
