When your cruise ship docks at the Piraeus Port, embark on this outstanding shore excursion to the Cape Sounion. You’ll head outside of Athens to visit the Temple of Poseidon, dedicated to the God of the Seas of the ancient times.
The tour begins with a breathtaking drive along the scenic coastal road in your luxury air conditioned mini bus. 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.
You will arrive at Cape Sounion, a historic and beautiful area of Greece. The steep cliffs offer breathtaking, panoramic views. On a clear day you can see at least 7 of the Greek islands. In addition to the views, visit the famous 5th-Century BC Temple of Poseidon. One of the columns has a graffiti left by none other than Lord Byron in the early 1800s. Walk back in time and feel the beat of Ancient Greece as you stare across magical views of crystal clear waters. After a short stop in Glyfada shopping area, you will return on time to the port to board to your cruise ship.

We were a small group and it was organized. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was very helpful. We had enough time to listen to her sharing but also time for pictures.

Le cap sounion est un endroit magnifique.le trajet aller nous a permis de profiter de magnifiques panoramas en longeant la côte.dommage qu' il soit impossible de trouver des visites avec des guides francophones .j ai eu un peu de mal à tout suivre et à résumer pour mon conjoint qui ne parle pas anglais.il est dommage que le podium avait une heure de retard
