Tour Details
The tour starts at Syntagma Metro Station or outside your hotel where our van will be ready to pick you up at the pre-defined time. Our driver will take you through some of the most vibrant suburbs of Athens (Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, Voula, Varkiza). Our drive ends at Cape Sounio via the famous coastal road that features several points 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.

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 and you will enjoy beverages and snacks provided by Parthenon Tours. After our visit of the Temple we will head back to Athens. Our van will take you outside the Syntagma Metro Station. At the end of the tour our guide will provide a Parthenon Tours souvenir.

Meeting Point

“ Beautiful views on the way. Excellent tour. Brilliantly planned. They stopped the van on the way for photo stops and the time provided at the Temple was more than adequate. Lovely tour with very knowledgeable guides.”
Antonella Ricci
“This was a good tour to see some of the coastline south of Athens and to spend some time at Sounion. The van was very comfortable and the guide was quite knowledgeable and was willing to answer any questions the group had.”
