About This Tour
Cape Sounion is one of the most famous archaeological sites near Athens. Don't miss the opportunity to visit during your stay, especially to enjoy its breathtaking sunset — often considered the second most spectacular in Greece after Santorini. Drive along the Athens Riviera in a luxury air-conditioned vehicle to the Temple of Poseidon, enjoying splendid views of the Saronic Gulf.
Upon arrival at Cape Sounion, visit the 5th-century BC Temple of Poseidon — one of the most breathtaking panoramic viewpoints in the world. On a clear day you can see at least seven islands. The precipice is a sheer 197-foot drop to the sea. Cape Sounion has long played an important part in Greek mythology and history, first mentioned in the Odyssey as the last safe landing before Poseidon scattered the returning Greek navy.
After visiting the Temple, admire one of the most amazing sunsets imaginable, capture the perfect photo before returning to your hotel.
