What you can expect

Embark on a half-day trip from Athens to Cape Sounion and explore the Archaeological Site of Sounion and the iconic Temple of Poseidon. Step back into the Golden Age of Athens as your expert archaeologist guide shares stories of ancient history and mythology.

Enjoy a scenic drive along the coastal road, passing through some of Athens’ most picturesque suburbs, including Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza. Take in sweeping views of the Saronic Gulf as you head towards the southernmost tip of Attica.

Upon arrival at Cape Sounion, marvel at the towering cliffs and panoramic vistas of the Aegean Sea and nearby islands. Inside the archaeological site, explore the magnificent 5th-century BC Temple of Poseidon, dedicated to the mighty God of the Sea. Wander at your own pace among the well-preserved columns, a testament to the power and influence of the ancient Athenians.

Spend about an hour exploring this historic landmark, with time to admire the breathtaking coastal scenery. If you’ve chosen the sunset option, end your visit by witnessing a spectacular sunset over the Aegean before heading back to Athens.
