Sounio Private Day Tour
Description
Visiting Cape Sounio from Athens with a private tour makes your journey very comfortable and enjoyable, no multiple stops unless you wish for. A full-day, small-group tour provides an easy alternative, with air-conditioned minivan travel, which allows you to visit cape’s Temple of Poseidon, admire the ruins and Aegean views. There will also be a lunch and beach break to enjoy the good traditional food and the enormous view of Athens from the Cape Sounio.
Select your preferred departure on booking and, after pickup from your central Athens hotel, set off along the Athens Riviera by air-conditioned minivan.
Pass through Athens’ suburbs of Glyfada and Vouliagmeni, and admire the Saronic Gulf, seaside resorts, and villages as you follow the coastal roads east.
During your outward or return journey, take a break beside the sea. Perhaps enjoy a light meal or drinks (own expense) or lounge or swim at a beach. If you plan to swim, bring your swimming gear.
On arrival, explore the fifth-century Temple of Poseidon perched on the headland. Listen as your guide narrates its history, including how it was dedicated to the god of the sea, Poseidon, and served as a beacon for mariners. (Entry to the Temple of Poseidon is at your own expense.)
Take photos of the panoramas before your tour concludes with a hotel drop-off.
Your trip concludes at the original Athens starting point.
