Overview
ItineraryThis is a typical itinerary for this productStop At: Temple of Poseidon, Cape Sounio, Sounio 195 00 GreeceOur tour starts with a wonderful drive along the Athens Rivera. During this relaxing ride with your luxury air conditioned bus you’ll enjoy splendid views of the Saronic Gulf while passing through some of Athens’ most beautiful suburbs, including Hellinikon Olympic complex, 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 at least seven islands). One of its columns has a graffiti left by none other than lord Byron in the early 1800s. 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 we will wait to admire one of the most amazing sunsets you could ever imagine. And when the sun begins to slowly touch the sea it is the perfect moment for a glass of wine, before returning back to your hotel.Duration: 4 hoursPass By: Sounio, Sounio, East Attica Region, AtticaVisit to Cape Sounio

Traveler Reviews

Must see attraction, have to enjoy the sunset the tour did not give me enough time to sit and enjoy the sunset

Selten so einen schlechten Ausflug gehabt. Sehr lange Fahrtzeit (u.a. durch Überbuchung, daher alles länger gedauert) was zu einem Aufenthalt von gerade mal gut 20 Minuten am Tempel geführt hat. Die Erklärungen der Reiseleitung waren auch eher überschaubar ...
