Highlights
  • Archaeological Site of Sounion - Our trip starts with a wonderful drive along the Athens Rivera. During this relaxing ride you’ll enjoy splendid views of the Saronic Gulf while passing through some of Athens’ most beautiful suburbs, including Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza.

Cape Sounion has long played an important part in Greek mythology and history, and the first recorded mention of it occurs in the Odyssey, as the last safe landing before Poseidon scattered the returning Greek navy. As god of the sea, Poseidon was very important for ancient Greeks, and the scale of the Temple at Cape Sounion reflects that.

  • Temple of Poseidon - Visit the Temple of Poseidon with its magnificent panoramic view of the Aegean Sea (on a clear day you can see several islands).
  • Lake Vouliagmeni - Stop at Vouliagmeni lake for photos on our way back to Athens.
