Experience the Beauty of Cape Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon
4,5 hours
Are you ready to explore the beauty and history of Cape Sounio, home of the Temple of Poseidon, one of the most significant landmarks in Athens? Our guided tour will take you on a journey to this breathtaking site, where you'll witness stunning coastal views and experience the magic of an ancient temple.
Our tour begins with an English-speaking guide who will pick you up from your hotel or preferred gathering point. From there, we'll take you on a scenic route through the wealthiest south suburbs of Athens, including Palaio Faliro, Glyfada, Voula, Voyliagmeni, Varkiza, Anavyssos, and Palaia Fokaia. Along the way, you'll be able to take in picturesque coastal towns, sandy beaches, and enjoy delicious seafood taverns.
During our trip, we'll make a stop at Vouliagmeni Lake, a magnificent geological phenomenon created by an earthquake that revealed a labyrinth of underwater tunnels and natural springs. This is the perfect place to take some pictures and admire the unique beauty of this location.
Our journey will continue to Cape Sounio, where you'll witness breathtaking panoramic views of the Aegean sea. At a height of almost 60 meters, you'll be awed by the perfect setting for an ancient temple, especially one dedicated to the "God of the Sea". The Temple of Poseidon is an important monument of the Golden Age of Athens, constructed by the Athenian statesman Pericles in 444-440 BC as a sacred place for Athenians to worship the sea god Poseidon.
Upon arrival, you'll have plenty of time to explore the temple and surrounding area, take some memorable photos, and enjoy lunch or coffee at the local cafe-restaurant. Alternatively, join us in the afternoon to witness the magical sunset from the temple.
Join us for an unforgettable trip to Cape Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon, and discover the true beauty and history of Athens. With our guided tour, you'll get to experience the best that this magnificent destination has to offer. Book now and let us take you on a journey you'll never forget!
