Cape Sounio & Temple of Poseidon
Our van will be ready to pick you up outside your accomodation, 15 minutes prior to the departure time of the tour. Our driver will take you through some of the most vibrant suburbs of Athens (Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, Voula) and make a stop at lake Vouliagmeni, where you will have the chance to rest and enjoy a quick snack and beverages, and capture magnificent photos of the lake. We will resume our trip to Cape Sounio via the famous coastal road that features several points with excellent view of the Aegean Sea. At the end of the coastal road, lies the Temple of Poseidon within a fort that protects the coast of Attica. The temple, dedicated to Poseidon the Olympian God of the sea, was erected in the 5th century BC and is made entirely of white marble. The location offers one of the most beautiful views in the world. On a sunny summer day, you can see several islands such as Kea, Kythnos and Serifos at the southeast, and Aegina and the Peloponnese at the west. During your visit our guide will provide you with all the necessary information concerning the history and importance of the Temple. After our visit of the Temple we will head back to the coastal road where we will stop to rest and taste local snacks and beverages. Finally, we will head back to Athens. Our van will take you outside your accomodation. At the end of the tour our guide will provide you a Parthenon Tours souvenir.

“ This was a good tour to see some of the coastline south of Athens and to spend some time at Sounion. The van was very comfortable and the guide was quite knowledgeable and was willing to answer any questions the group had. ”
“We took this tour during our short stay in Athens with our cruise ship. Perfect for someone that want to see something different than the Acropolis. The temple of poseidon and the views during our drive were AMAZING!!!”
