What to expect

The Saronic Gulf offers up one of the most scenic stretches of coastline in Greece. Enjoy an afternoon of fresh sea air and wonderful sweeping views with this trip from Athens to Cape Sounion. With a mixture of guided and free time, you'll be able to make the most of the visit to this archaeological site and area of natural beauty.

Journey along the coast road, passing the beaches of Glyfada, Vouliagmeni and Varkiza, arriving at the most southerly point of the Attica Peninsula, Cape Sounion. Here the white marble pillars of the Temple of Poseidon stand defiantly atop a cliff top.

After a guided visit to the Temple of Poseidon – which was commissioned by Pericles in 440 BC – you'll have time to walk at leisure on the rocky promontory of Cape Sounion, a place steeped in legend. Here you can enjoy views of the sparkling Aegean Sea and islands far below you.

    Not long enough at the site. Long journey to make for such a short visit. Information from guide was not engaging enough. Lacking passion about the subject. This is how it came across to our party.

    Enjoyed the actual tour, interesting information and sights. One issue that needs addressing is the duration information, was told on the voucher tour was 2to 4 hours but took five and a half hours which meant we missed a reservation booking later on, if we had been given accurate information would have made other arrangements.

    Tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, the drive down along the coast was beautiful. Site itself was really pretty and the views were gorgeous. Cafe associated with the site was really nice as well - could take away or sit in for drinks.

    Staff very courteous. Guide in particular was entertaining and very knowledgeable. My only criticism is the length of time we actually had at the Poseidon temple was too short. Also it would be a good idea if the coach had a sign at the front stating CAPE SOUNION TOUR or the Rep held up a similar sign so we could easily identify the tour.
