From Athens: Temple of Poseidon and Cape Sounion Guided Tour

Head to Cape Sounion to explore the Archaeological Site of Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon on a half-day trip from Athens, with hotel transfers and entry fees included and with a zero carbon footprint. See remnants of an ancient town and learn about the Golden Age of Athens from your guide. Start with a bus ride along the scenic coastal road. While passing through some of Athen's most beautiful suburbs such as Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza, enjoy the splendid views of the Saronic Gulf. Listen to your expert archaeologist escort and learn about the mythology linked to the temple before reaching the archaeological site. Arrive at Cape Sounion, a historically significant area of Greece. The steep cliffs offer sweeping panoramic views, and on a clear day, you can see the surrounding islands. Entering the site, explore at your own pace the 5th-century BC Temple of Poseidon, dedicated to the God of the Sea in Greek mythology and see the columns that still stand today as a reminder of the Athenian Empire. Enjoy for one hour the historical place with the breathtaking view. After experiencing the monuments and ruins of ancient Greece, if you chose it, finish your day by watching the sunset over this legendary horizon. Relax on the drive back to Athens.
