Tour Details
Our van will be ready to pick you up outside your accomodation, 15 minutes prior to the departure time of the tour. Our driver will take you through some of the most vibrant suburbs of Athens (Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, Voula) and make a stop at lake Vouliagmeni, where you will have the chance to rest and enjoy a quick snack and beverages, and capture magnificent photos of the lake. We will resume our trip to Cape Sounio via the famous coastal road that features several viewpoints with an excellent view of the Aegean Sea. At the end of the coastal road, lies the Temple of Poseidon within a fort that protects the coast of Attica.  The temple, dedicated to Poseidon the Olympian God of the sea, was erected in the 5th century BC and is made entirely of white marble. The location offers one of the most beautiful views in the world. On a sunny summer day, you can see several islands such as Kea, Kythnos and Serifos at the southeast, and Aegina and the Peloponnese at the west. During your visit our guide will provide you with all the necessary information concerning the history and importance of the Temple. Then we will head back for a swim and lunch. You will have the chance to enjoy Greek traditional dishes and swim in one of the most beautiful beaches of Attica.  We will then head back to Athens and our van will take you outside your accomodation. At the end of the tour our guide will provide you a Parthenon Tours souvenir.
