With entrance included, explore the magnificent Temple of Poseidon, built high on the cliffs overlooking the Aegean Sea. Admire the remarkably preserved Doric columns, discover the remains of the Sanctuary of Athena and learn about the site's importance in Ancient Greek mythology. The breathtaking setting has inspired visitors for centuries, including the famous poet Lord Byron, who carved his name into one of the temple's columns.

If you wish, your driver can recommend a traditional seaside taverna where you can enjoy fresh local seafood or authentic Greek cuisine before the relaxing drive back to Athens.

Perfect for couples, families and small groups, this private experience offers a memorable escape from the city while showcasing one of Greece's most spectacular coastal landscapes.
