Overview

Sounio on the cliff today stand the ruins of the ancient temple of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. The temple of Poseidon was built between 444-440 BCE. It stands at about 60 metres above sea level and like other temples has a rectangular shape. There were 34 columns originally and there are 15 of these still standing today. The columns remaining are surprisingly well preserved considering the wind up on the headland and daily exposure to the elements. Flanked on three sides by the sea, it is easy to see why this spot was an excellent vantage point for spotting incoming ships. The peninsula juts right out into the sea – it is the last point of land a sailor can see on leaving and the first point of land visible on returning.The training and the knowledge of our drivers is unique, ready to offer their services,satisfying all your demands Our aim is to provide the best quality services and make your stay in Greece more pleasant and successful. All our vehicles are Mercedes E class

Temple of Poseidon

Sunset is the best time to arrive at the 5th-century-B.C. Temple of the mythical sea God Poseidon. Perched on cliffs above Cape Sounio, the temple ruins, surrounded on three sides by sea, have stunning views out over the Aegean. It was mentioned in Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. More recently, English Romantic poet Lord Byron visited this atmospheric spot in 1811 and inscribed his name at the base of one of the temple's Doric columns.

A perfect day tour!HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Published on Nov, 2024

We had the most perfect guided tour to the Temple,the most beautiful sunset we had ever seen... Glykeria our driver was so well informed,she explained all the history of ancient Greece and we had fun with her stories!Τhe car was luxurious and very clean!She gave us the best day of our trip in Athens and a beautiful experience!

Private tour in Athens and the temple of Poseidon!

It was the second time we chose them since we were completely satisfied from the first time. Excellent car, with water, internet and unlimited comfort with the vehicle. The driver, like the first time, was Manos, who explained as best he could stories about the temple of Poseidon and Athens of course. Another unforgettable experience with them. Thank you!

Great experience!

It was quite an experience! The temple itself is breathtaking. The whole tour was organised perfectly to the last detail by Manos who is very polite, professional and welcoming. The car is very luxurious and clean! Definitely recommend anyone to take the tour!

Great services!!!

Impeccable services from Manos, apart from being a professional driver he is also a wonderful man. He explained several things about our visit to Sounion. We will definitely use Manos' services again.Thank you Manos

Best experience

The best tour ever!!!Manos is the most incredible knowledge driver but at the same time entertaining. I felt like I was on a trip with a friend. I only regret that I did not have more time to make other excursions with him
