Cape Sounion & The Temple Of Poseidon – Private Tour

The promontory of Sounion was a place of great historic and religious importance for the ancient Greeks. For this reason, they had built on its top many temples through the centuries, among which is the Temple of Poseidon. It is the temple that still partially survives. Its proud white marble pillars have seen many centuries passing by, while they withstand the passing of time and the forces of nature.

Join our staff, who will meet you and greet you at the place of your preference, according to an agreed timetable. They will take you on a drive along the coastal road of South Attica, parallel to the wonderful beaches of Glyfada, Vouliagmeni & Varkiza. Cape Sounion is located to the Southest point of the Attican peninsula.

There you can watch one of the most exquisite sunsets on Earth. It is one of the most recognizable places on Earth, due to its unique landscape. The majestic temple of Poseidon and the ruins of the temple of Athena were a place of pilgrimage for all antiquity and are now considered to be an equal site dedicated to mankind.
