Full description

Sounion Private Tour: Your Group Only (Up to 4) with Total Flexibility. Temple of Poseidon, Swimming & Dinner by the Sea. Professional photography included for beautiful memories.

Escape the city and enjoy a private coastal adventure along the stunning Athens Riviera. This personalized tour blends comfort, scenic beauty, and local stories, with moments captured by your driver-guide, who’s also a skilled photographer. Visit the Temple of Poseidon, enjoy a swim at a hidden beach, and unwind with dinner by the sea.

For a limited time, this premium tour with professional photos is offered at the price of a basic private tour.

Your Private Coastal Escape
We’ll pick you up from your hotel, port, or airport in a clean, air-conditioned car. Sit back as we follow the Riviera’s winding coastal road, with views of the Saronic Gulf, pretty suburbs, and dramatic cliffs – far from the city’s hustle.

Hidden Gems & Relaxed Stops
Our first stop is Vouliagmeni Lake, a peaceful spot with natural thermal waters and a unique geological setting. Along the drive, your guide shares local insights, myths, and history. Between May and October, you can enjoy a quick swim at a quiet beach, if you wish – we know a few great ones.

Professional Photos Included
We’ll take relaxed, natural photos along the way – at viewpoints, beaches, and scenic stops. While photography isn’t allowed within archaeological sites, we’ll capture beautiful shots before and after your visit to the Temple. After the tour, you’ll receive a gallery of high-resolution, edited photos to remember the experience.

Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion
Arrive at the breathtaking Temple of Poseidon (5th century BC), perched above the sea. Walk among the ancient ruins and take in panoramic views of the Aegean. Entry ticket not included. It’s a peaceful, inspiring place, especially in the late afternoon light.

Optional Dinner by the Sea
After the visit, choose to dine by the water at a handpicked seaside taverna – fresh seafood, local wine, and relaxed vibes (meal not included). Prefer something quicker? We can stop for gelato or a snack instead. The timing is flexible – perfect if you want to catch the sunset.

Return to Athens
Relax on the ride back to the city. We’ll drop you off safely at your hotel, port, or airport with lasting memories and a set of beautiful photos from your coastal escape.

If you want an unforgettable experience in Greece, book the Sounion Private Tour with Dimitri. He’s not just a guide — he’s a passionate storyteller, historian and talented photographer. He brought the Temple of Poseidon to life with mythology and insight and made every moment feel meaningful. The coastal drive from Athens was scenic and relaxed, with great local commentary. We swam at a beautiful nearby beach before visiting the temple at golden hour — simply magical. What truly elevated the day was Dimitri’s skill as a photographer. He captured stunning, candid photos of our group — natural, emotional and beautifully composed. These weren’t typical tourist shots but keepsakes we’ll truly treasure. Dimitri’s warmth and professionalism made the tour feel personal, seamless and unforgettable. Perfect for couples, families or anyone seeking beauty, connection, and authenticity. Thank you, Dimitri — we’ll cherish the memories and photos forever!
