What you'll do

Escape the city and discover the spectacular coastline south of Athens on this private half-day tour to Cape Sounion and the iconic Temple of Poseidon. Combining breathtaking sea views, scenic coastal villages and one of Greece's most famous archaeological sites, this tour offers the perfect blend of history and natural beauty.

Travel in the comfort of a private vehicle along the stunning Athenian Riviera, passing the elegant seaside suburbs of Glyfada, Voula, Vouliagmeni and Varkiza. Along the way, stop at the famous Lake Vouliagmeni, a unique natural lake renowned for its crystal-clear mineral waters and picturesque setting.

Continue south along the dramatic coastline, enjoying panoramic views across the Saronic Gulf before arriving at Cape Sounion, one of the most beautiful headlands in Greece.

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.
