Full description

Escape the hustle and bustle of Athens for the evening on this bus tour to the marvel at the sunset from the Temple of Poseidon which is perched above the sea at at Cape Sounion. Pass by sights like the Hellinikon Olympic complex and Glyfada beach on the drive. 

Enjoy the convenience of being picked up from your centrally-located accommodation in Athens. Board a comfortable and airconditioned bus and relax on the scenic drive along the Athens Riviera, with the comfort of knowing that your travel footprint is being offset. Take in splendid views of the Saronic Gulf along the way. 

Head through some of the most salubrious neighborhoods of the city, and marvel at the Hellinikon Olympic complex, along with settlements such as Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza.

Reach Cape Sounion and visit the 5th century BC Temple of Poseidon. Gaze out over the Aegean Sea from this privileged position and, on a clear day you can see at least 7 Greek islands. 

Learn about Cape Sounion's important role in Greek mythology and history. The first recorded mention of it occurs in the Odyssey, and it was the last landing port for ships returning from Poseidon.

Hear about Greek God of the Sea at the Poseidon Temple at Cape Sounion as the sun disappears beneath the horizon. Return to your accommodation in Athens at the end of your tour.

Everything was great, bus with air conditioning, great way to see the sunset at the temple to which is hard to get by public transportation. There is as well no sense to buy the site ticket from the tour company as simply guide stands in the same line to buy ticket with those who picked the option to buy on site themselves. The ticket on site costs only 10 eur, the tickets office prefers cash

The bus to Cape Sounion at sunset was a really great tour. Our guide was knowledgeable. Great historical information and the timing for the sunset was perfect. The day was a bit cloudy but the sunset was still spectacular. The coach is very comfortable and convenient to the city center.

The coastal views on the way, our guide Irene and the Temple of Poseidon were amazing and worth a five star review. The tour bus stopped at about five locations to pick up passengers. This was both convenient for those of us on the tour as we only had a short walk to our hotel pick up and inconvenient that we spent over an hour picking up before the tour officially began. Still, it was on my wish list to see the Temple at sunset and it did not disappoint.
