On this tour from Athens, a bus will take you to the picturesque Cape Sounion. You will stroll around the cape and explore the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon perched on it. Your archaeologist guide will share an interesting narrative of the temple’s history and the famous authors who visited the site.

At the same time, the cape will provide you with scenic sunset views, and you will get to watch the sun slowly descend into the sea, bathing the cape with soft light.

Afterwards, you will take a brief stop at Lake Vouliagmeni, which is considered a gem on the Athens Riviera.
