Athens: Sounio Poseidon Temple and Athenian Riviera Day Trip

Start with pickup from your accommodation in Athens and relax in an air-conditioned vehicle as you soak up the breathtaking scenery along the Athenian Riviera. Pass by the sparkling waters of Lake Vouliagmeni and some of the area's most-prestigious cities.

Stop at a local bakery for a steaming cup of fresh Greek coffee and a sweet bougatsa (custard pastry). Head to a stunning beach that has crystal clear waters where you can swim (in summer) or breathe in the salty air.

Visit the impressive Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounio, where you have free time explore the site at your own pace. Admire the Doric style of architecture at this temple that was built during the Golden Age of Athens.

Feel the thrill of visiting a legendary spot perched atop a cliff at Cape Sounion. Watch the sunset from this privileged position that offers panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and nearby islands.

After visiting the temple, head to a local tavern where you can purchase fresh local seafood, meat, or vegan dishes and ice-cold drinks before begin returned to your hotel in Athens.
