Your journey begins with a pick-up from your accommodation in Athens, where your English-speaking driver will guide you along the scenic Saronic Gulf. Enjoy the drive as you pass through some of Athens’ most beautiful coastal suburbs, including Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza, all while traveling in a premium minivan or minibus.
Upon reaching Cape Sounion, you’ll explore the awe-inspiring 5th-century BC Temple of Poseidon, dedicated to the god of the sea. From its vantage point, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the Aegean Sea, and on clear days, you can even glimpse several islands in the distance. The Temple of Poseidon, constructed during Athens’ Golden Age alongside the Parthenon, has long held a special place in the hearts of visitors. For sailors returning to Piraeus, this sacred site signaled that they were nearing home.
Cape Sounion holds a prominent place in Greek mythology and history, first mentioned in Homer’s Odyssey as the last safe haven before Poseidon scattered the returning Greek navy. The temple’s grand structure reflects Poseidon’s significance to the ancient Greeks, especially as the god of the sea.
After visiting the Temple of Poseidon, you’ll have time to admire one of the most breathtaking sunsets imaginable. Depending on your schedule, you can also choose to enjoy a coffee, lunch, or dinner while taking in the sweeping views over the Aegean or watching the sun set into the sea—an ideal opportunity for stunning photos.
Relax as you are driven back to your accommodation in Athens in the comfort of your luxury minivan or minibus, ending your memorable tour of Sounio on a peaceful note.
