Highlights
  • Temple of Poseidon - Embark on an exclusive sunset excursion to Cape Sounion. The journey begins with a scenic drive along the Athens Riviera. As you relax, take in the stunning vistas of the Saronic Gulf and pass by some of Athens’ most picturesque suburbs, including Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza.

Upon reaching Cape Sounion, you’ll explore the 5th century B.C. Temple of Poseidon, perched with a breathtaking panoramic view of the Aegean Sea (on a clear day, multiple islands are visible). Cape Sounion has been significant in Greek mythology and history, first appearing in the Odyssey as the final safe haven before Poseidon wreaked havoc on the Greek fleet returning home. Poseidon, the god of the sea, held great importance for the ancient Greeks, and the grandeur of his temple at Cape Sounion is a testament to that.

Following your visit to the Temple, having soaked in the site’s beauty, history, and culture, prepare to witness one of the most spectacular sunsets imaginable. As the sun gently meets the sea, it’s the ideal time for a glass of wine, followed by a meal at a picturesque seafront tavern nearby.

Savor the expansive views of the Aegean and capture memorable photographs. On the return trip, indulge in a delectable waffle with ice cream, a local secret.

Great Experience - Our driver and guide, Theo, was very warm and friendly and he was an excellent host. We made several stops along the way so that we could enjoy the views and Theo talked to us about the different areas along the coast as we drove. Seeing the sun set at the temple was truly memorable. Theo gave us several options for dinner and we were very happy with the restaurant with traditional Greek food and a pleasant covered porch. We went to a nearby ice cream spot after dinner that was outstanding. The experience was thoroughly enjoyable and we felt well taken care of by Theo.

Wonderful experience - Melina was fantastic and showed us her knowledge on f Greek mythology. We had a chance to taste one of the best ice cream places in Athens in the way back. She was engaging and friendly. She offered water and even picked us up from the airport as we were running late to make to our hotel due to our delayed flight from Santorini.

Perfect sunset - A peaceful and beautiful scenic ride out of the city along the seaside all the way to the temple in time for the setting sun. Giorgos was a great host making the trip convenient and recommending a great dinner at a local restaurant along the way back.

Temple of Poseidon and the sunset view are well worth the trip - Nick was our driver, and his wealth of knowledge about not just the Temple of Poseidon but all of Athens and Greece, made our trip very enjoyable. Great view of the sunset.
