The afternoon visit with a picturesque view at sunset from the Temple was really magnificent. The trip was rather long, but it was accompanied by our personal guide and an audio device. The story of the Temple and the places along the way was very interesting and educational. It was very windy at the Temple because Poseidon has been angry for not being chosen instead of Athens as the protector of the city.

Le bus était confortable, les instructions claires et les guides étaient sympathiques. Le lieu est magnifique et vaut le détour, ça permet aussi de voir la côte sur le trajet. Dommage que ce soit un peu mal géré, nous n'avions pas de place dans le bus et avons du attendre le suivant alors que nous sommes arrivées en avance comme prévu. Le bus a mis du temps à partir ensuite.

Once the tour started it was enjoyable, the guide was good and knowledgable. The start was chaotic, not sure what went wrong, i think wifi but we all waited 20-30 minutes in full sun outside the bus, even though we had etickets. Overall though an enjoyable trip.

The tour was a relaxing drive to The Temple of Poseidon. The tour was guided by a recording with information about areas along the hour drive. There was ample time at the temple to take pictures and have a self guided tour.

It was an amazing setting. Unfortunately no time to stop on the way for photos but did so on our return. Quick entry with our tickets. Unfortunately a photograph is group we're all set up for sunset shots. So we had to move on. But we were able to get some good shots. It was a windy day but we were prepared.

Comfortable bus journey. The audio guide for the bus journey was fantastic. No audio guide for Poseidon, it's a DIY for information on the temple (Google has always been a good friend). Sunset was VERY beautiful. Went in September and wasn't crowded.

See Cape Sounion & the legendary Temple of Poseidon with an expert archaeologist guide. Experience one of Attica’s most dramatic coastal viewpoints at the Cape Sounion and Temple of Poseidon, one of Greece’s finest ancient sites.

Walk the sacred grounds of Cape Sounion and learn the myths behind the Temple of Poseidon.

Hear stories of Aegean legends and the Golden Age of Athens while standing at the same cliffs that inspired poets like Lord Byron, whose engraving still marks the temple.

A comfortable bus transfer, an English-speaking archaeologist guide, and included audio whispers let you enjoy a smooth, informative visit in just a few hours.

Easy quick entry. Guide knew the best place to take photos. She spoke very quickly so we found it difficult to understand all of her commentary

A half-day journey to Cape Sounion immerses you in breathtaking Aegean views and the timeless presence of the Temple of Poseidon.

Getting started

Your experience begins in Athens, where you join your English-speaking archaeologist guide and board a comfortable bus toward the southern tip of the Attica Peninsula. The coastal drive offers sweeping sea vistas and sets the tone for a relaxed escape from the city.

While entry to the temple is not included, the grounds offer unobstructed views of its Doric columns, the Aegean Sea, and the very cliff where Lord Byron carved his name. Insightful commentary from your guide adds depth to the myths, maritime history, and architectural significance of this sacred cape.
