If you want to dive into Greek history and mythology, more specifically about Athena and Poseidon, this is your tour. Our guide Σταυρούλα did a brilliant job walking us through exciting historical facts and myths. One of the best guided tours I've ever taken. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience and for the great tips, Σταυρούλα.

The guides, bus driver and hostess, were very involved in this outing and shared their knowledge with us. The seaside tour was an interesting way to discover the coast between Athens and Cape Sounion. The site of the Temple of Poseidon is magnificent, and we'll keep it in our memories. Thank you so much!

The trip was very easy to book on line. Nearer the date of our booking, the weather forecast indicated that there would be rain so using the app, a reschedule was a really simple task to perform. On the day of the trip, our guide Erin was waiting at our stop. She was friendly and gave us lots of information throughout the trip in addition to the on board audio guide. The temple visit was great and facilities at the cafe good. All in all a very enjoyable trip.

The tour will start from Athens and will take you along the south coast towards the Athens Riviera. You will travel in a premium air-conditioned bus, as you take in the beautiful scenery on the journey. An English speaking guide and escort will accompany your group, giving you a great deal of insight into the area. You will soon reach the Sounion, and be dazzled by the spectacular landscape around you. The Sounion is one of the prominent areas mentioned in Homer’s epic Odyssey. In ancient Greece, the area was a sacred ground dedicated to Athena and Poseidon.

You can see the marvelous Temple of Poseidon perched on the edge of a cliff, 70 meters above water level. Entry to the attraction isn’t included in this tour, although you can choose to explore it yourself.

Gaze across the Aegean Sea from the cliff, where legend says King Aegeus threw himself off. Your guide will talk about the story behind Aegeus throwing himself off the cliff, while also talking about the significance of the area and its history. You can catch a breathtaking sunset over the sea, which is perfect for some memorable photos.
