Overview

The lacy coastal road that begins in the Athenian suburb of Glyfada and winds its way through Vouliagmeni and Lagonisi to reach Cape Sounio is one of Attica’s most sublime routes. Small beaches with their sandy shores or rocky stretches, crystal-clear sparkling water and a perfectly blue sky accompany you along the way and delight the senses, mind and soul of anyone taking this gorgeous route to get to one of Greece’s most idyllic spots, Cape Sounio. From a distance, your gaze is captivated by the ruins of the temple of Poseidon, commanding, stunning, a characteristic example of classical architecture of the 5th century BC. This is the spot that the ancient Athenians chose to honor their god Poseidon, within a fortress constructed to protect their coastline. Millions of visitors from around the globe also come here to gaze upon the sun setting into the arms of the Saronic Gulf. A memory that stays with them for a lifetime...

Nice day as solo passenger.

Published on Dec, 2024

Nice, experienced driver. Solo passenger with driver. Kind, polite, informative. Very relaxing day. This is recommended if you are looking for a day trip to see the Temple

Temple of Poseidon Day Trip

Published on Dec, 2024

It is a relaxing great 1/2 day trip outside of Athens. The coast is lovely and the solitude at the temple was impressive. We were there during the day on a sunny calm December AM. Picked out our fresh sea bass from their ice chest and had a memorable lunch looking out at the sea. Our guide Aris taught us about celebrating the holidays in December in Greece.

The cape was m I re beautiful than I imagined

Published on Nov, 2024

Fantastic private drive to Cape Sounio / Temple of Poseidon

Published on Oct, 2024

We had an amazing evening with Yiannis M who drove us from our airbnb in Athens out to the see the gorgeous sunset at Cape Sounio / Temple of Poseidon. We also stopped for a couple additional photos along the way. He was highly knowledgeable, friendly, fun and also a great driver! There were 3 of us and we were super comfortable in Yiannis' car. Highly recommend!

Fantastic coastal drive and Temple of Poseidon tour… plus lunch!

Published on Sep, 2024

This was a great tour down the coast to Cape Sounio! Nikos was our driver and guide and he was fantastic. It was a gorgeous drive down the coast and the time at Temple of Poseidon. While sunset visits are popular, we were there in the morning and it was so quiet. We thought it was much more enjoyable experience than the Parthenon. You could get close and take your time without all the crowds. We added the lunch option and Nikos took us to a wonderful family seaside restaurant with time to relax. It was a great tour.
