Experience the beauty of Greece with our Cape Sounion and Temple of Poseidon tour, available in both morning and sunset options. Each tour offers a unique way to see this stunning area, complete with picturesque photo stops like the picturesque Vouliagmeni Lake.
The drive itself is a treat, showcasing the sparkling Saronic Gulf and charming suburbs of Athens. The main attraction, the Temple of Poseidon, sits majestically on the cliffs of Cape Sounion, where history and myth come alive.
As the sun dips below the horizon, the sky and sea are painted with vibrant colors, creating a magical backdrop for the ancient temple. It's a breathtaking sight and perfect for memorable photos.
From May to October, both tours include a beach stop for a refreshing swim and a leisurely seaside lunch.
Ideal for history buffs, nature lovers, or anyone looking for a unique day out, this tour is a wonderful way to explore the Greek coastline and its ancient wonders.

No Greek god or goddess could have asked for a more beautiful spot to have a temple built in their honor. The temple is on a high hill offering spectacular views of the Aegean Sea.
Guide/narrator was new but did a very good job. Disappointed that she did not accompany the group past the entrance to the Temple - felt that she could have added to the experience.

Theo was a great guide and kept us entertained with Greek trivia and stories the entire ride. The sunset was spectacular.

The tour is organized, and both Lily, our guide, and Alex, our driver, were extremely nice.
I'm not sure the tour itself is really worth 61 USD - you are picked up from the hotel or a nearby location; first stop is the lake where you get off the bus for five minutes and take a picture from over the fence. The next stop is an aerial view of the temple and then we stopped for about an hour at the temple. Afterwards, we were taken to the beach where we had a light snack (not included in the price), before heading back to the hotel.
Overall, it was a nice and informative half-a-day trip.

Seeing the temple, hearing the mythology and true history behind Athens! I wish we could have actually gone swimming in the pretty lake with natural hot springs.

The tour guide and bus driver were very knowledgeable and helpful.
Viator were the only company offering a day tour, all the others were sunset packages and with time constrictions this suited us.

Had a great time with Iliana. She was a knowledgeable tour guide! There needs to be a recording as you go see the temple.

Teddy was an amazing tour guide (and a great comedian)! The sunset at the Cape was breathtaking and well worth the trip.

We enjoyed our tour with Teddy and Sotirios .
Teddy was fun and knowledgeable ( rare combination nova day). The only thing , I personally didn’t need that much time on the beach, I would rather start tour later or maybe stay longer on the lake

The sunset was beautiful but the overall trip would have been much better on my own.
The van was small, crowded, and stuffy.
We made 2 stops that were not needed and just killed time.
The beach stop was not really a place to swim, it was too chilly to swim, and you had to pay for a chair on the beach. 🤨
The guide wasn’t really necessary. He talked a lot but not about anything that could not have been on a handout. He didn’t accompany the group at the Temple to explain things about it and the tickets there weren’t included either. Another €10…
This is basically a crowded shuttle service.
