Description

Visit Cape Sounion and the famous Temple of Poseidon at sunset, thanks to this excursion departing from Athens!

After a transfer from one of the meeting points in Athens, you'll head for Cape Sounion, on the shores of the Saronic Gulf.

Cape Sounion is classified as one of Greece's national parks and is home to the Temple of Poseidon, built in the 4th century BC.C. A photogenic site that is still particularly well preserved. You'll visit the archaeological site and the temple of Poseidon at your own pace, and discover the place of the Cape and its site in history, Greek mythology and popular culture.

At the end of your visit, you'll watch the sunset and then take the road back to Athens.

Heaven on Earth It was a short stay on site, but worth every penny. The view is amazing. So is the road which takes you there while it follows the coast for most of the way. Anastasia, our guide, was very enthusiastic and thoughtful. A vry nice get-away from noisy Athens

“Nice trip! I and my wife both want to go for a sunset trip again.” The Sounion is a place where can let the dreams come true. It is so sad that can not go into the Temple and see the signature of Lord Byron. “ Place me on the Sunium's marbled steep, where nothing, save the waves and I”, definitely!

Great afternoon/evening spent driving along the Athenian Riviera with a quick guided tour of the temple ruins before being left on our own to watch the sun set over the water. The lighting of the setting sun was pure magic. Every photo we took looks amazing. And the glass of wine to toast to the setting sun is perfection. This was our last tour of our trip and was a perfect way to conclude our tour of Greece. Highly recommend it if you want a relaxing tour and sunset experience.
