Visit the breathtaking Cape Sounion and the exquisite Temple of Poseidon on this private morning (or afternoon) guided tour from Athens! Travel by private, air-conditioned vehicle along the beautiful Attica Riviera.
Cape Sounio is the most southern point of Attica and looks on to the Aegean Sea. At the tip of the cape the ancient Greeks built a temple to honor the god of the Sea, Poseidon. The site was not only as a place of worship but also as a strategic vantage point that allowed for shipping lanes to and from Athens to be controlled.
The site is quite modest, the Doric columns that stand today are a reminder of what the site used to be; it is very easily understood how impressive this site must have been. Just standing at the foot of the temple and looking out to the Aegean sea is awe inspiring and really well worth the visit.
Your personal guide will explain and give you insights about the sight, the history and the legends surrounding it.

We took the half-day tour today with guide Stelios and driver Eddy. They were both incredibly friendly and personable and went out of their way to make sure were were comfortable. Stelios mentioned he had studied archeology, and his insight into the building and history of the site was amazing.
I'd definitely recommend this to anyone!

Beautiful site, and when we arrived there were hardly any other people there. Our guide Eugenia was wonderful as well. We felt pampered having our own shuttle, and had as much time at the site as we liked.
