Join our guided half-day tour to Cape Sounion and experience a breathtaking sunset at the unique temple of Poseidon, the God of the Seas in ancient times.
Our tour starts with a wonderful drive along the Athens Riviera. During this relaxing ride with your luxury air-conditioned bus you’ll enjoy splendid views of the Saronic Gulf while passing through some of Athens’ most beautiful suburbs, including Hellinikon Olympic complex, Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza.
Arriving at the Cape Sounion, you will visit the 5th century B.C. Temple of Poseidon with its magnificent panoramic view of the Aegean Sea (on a clear day you can see at least seven islands). One of its columns has graffiti left by none other than Lord Byron in the early 1800s. Cape Sounion has long played an important part in Greek mythology and history, and the first recorded mention of it occurs in the Odyssey, as the last safe landing before Poseidon scattered the returning Greek navy. As god of the sea, Poseidon was very important for ancient Greeks, and the scale of the Temple at Cape Sounion reflects that.
After visiting the Temple, filled with the beauty, the history and the culture of this site we will wait to admire one of the most amazing sunsets you could ever imagine. And when the sun begins to slowly touch the sea it is the perfect photo shooting moment, before returning back to your hotel.

The beauty of the natural landscape by the seaside, the history of the place and the mesmerizing image of the sunset behind the ruins of this ancient Greek temple more than make it up for the 1 hour ride you need to endure to reach it.
The guide, was knowledgeable and passionate. She made a real effort to connect with everyone on the bus. Highly recommended!
Great experience. The temple of Poseidon was amazing. The sunset was everything you could have wanted to see.
This tour provided an excellent way to see the remotely located temple of poseidon. We had ample time there to take pictures and to walk around. Our guide and driver were great. There was a lot of traffic on the road to Sounion but the view of the coastline is worth the drive and traffic.
Our guide Dimitris was full of history and facts. Our driver John, was a friendly guy and an excellent driver. He even gave two bottles of water to my kids when we asked him if we could have some. Much appreciated.
Our guide was wonderful, she presented us with such a thorough image of the place that we could imagine it before we even stepped foot in the site. The sunset was magnificent.
