Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Temple of Poseidon, Cape Sounio, Sounio 195 00 Greece
Set out to a private sunset day trip to Cape 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.
Arriving at the Cape Sounion, you will visit the 5th century B.C. Temple of Poseidon with its magnificent panoramic view of the Aegean Sea (on a clear day you can see several islands). 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.
After visiting the Temple, filled from the beauty, the history and the culture of this site you are set to admire one of the most amazing sunsets you could ever imagine. Similarly, when the sun begins to slowly touch the sea it is the perfect moment for a glass of wine, before having your dinner in a scenic, nearby seafront tavern.
Absorb the far-reaching views over the Aegean and take unique photos. On your way back, enjoy a delicious waffle with ice cream that only locals know.
Duration: 2 hours

Our tour guide was fabulous. He was native to Greece so he shared stories and history for our tour. The restaurant we stopped at was looking up at the Temple. It was the best tour. I would recommend it to everyone

We did 3 private tours and George by far, was our favorite guide. He was so friendly and answered all of our questions. The unfortunate part was we drove all the way (1.5 hours) and when we go to the temple, they would not let us in! You have to be there 20 min before sunset and the lady (not so nice) closed the gates as we were walking up. She refused to let us in. We went on the other side and took pics. We tried to think of it as saving 50€ for the admission. After dinner, George took us to a amazing bakery that he knows. It was the best baklava we have ever had the entire stay! He even treated us to the Baklava! Yum. All of these private tours are not cheap, but it was lovely.Birchall1969

A beautiful drive along the Athenian coast! The location of the temple is amazing and it is really special at sunset. Ioannis was a pleasure to meet, provided really good information, is a safe driver and has a lovely car. We had a wonderful time.
