DESCRIPTION

Take a break from the city heat and noises and enjoy a 60 minutes ride through the beautiful Athens Riviera to visit one of Greece’s most important historical monuments, Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounio. A sacred place that the Athenians worshiped Poseidon, the God of the Sea.

The unique Temple of Poseidon is an important monument of the Golden Age of Athens and holds significant historical and mythological value for the Athenians. The temple was constructed in 444 – 440 b.c. from the Athenian statesman Pericles.

Our ride begins from your hotel or other preferred pick up point and our destination is 70 km south-west of Athens. During our coastal trip we will pass some of the most famous and wealthy south suburbs of Attika, like Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, Varkiza, Lagonisi, Palaia Fokaia and picturesque coastal towns where green of the land and deep blue of the sea get into one in a magnificent landscape. On our way will stop at Vouliagmenis Lake to enjoy the majestic geological phenomenon and take some pictures. On our trip to Cape Sounio your driver will recommend places that you can take some pictures or to do a stop wherever you deside. A few minutes later we arrive to our destination, the Temple of Poseidon. The temple is perched above the sea on a breathtaking panoramic view hill at height of almost 60 meters and its hard to imagine a more perfect setting for an ancient temple, in particular one dedicated to the “God of the Sea”.

There you will have time to walk around and explore the temple, have a coffee or lunch, go for a swim at the nearby sandy beaches and witness the magical sunset over the Aegean sea.
A Full day tour to Cape Sounio is an experience that you will never forget.
