Sunset Tour of Cape Sounion and Temple of Poseidon with Hotel Pick-up

Start Time: 17:00pm

Duration: 4 Hrs

Description:

Join our guided half day tour to Cape Sounion and experience a breathtaking sunset at the unique Temple of Poseidon, the God of the Seas in ancient times.

Our tour starts with a wonderful drive along the Athens Rivera. During this relaxing ride with your luxury air-conditioned bus, you will enjoy splendid views of the Saronic Gulf while passing through some of Athens’ most beautiful suburbs including the Hellinikon Olympic Complex, Glyfada, Vouliagmeni and Varkiza.

Upon arriving at Cape Sounion, you will visit the 5th Century B.C. Temple of Poseidon with its magnificent panoramic view of the Aegean Sea where on a clear day you can see at least seven islands. One of its columns has graffiti left by none other than Lord Byron in the early 1800’s.

Cape Sounion has long played an important part in Greek mythology and history and the first recorded mention of it occurs in the Odyssey, as the last safe landing before Poseidon scattered the returning Greek Navy. As the God of the Sea, Poseidon was very important for Ancient Greeks and the scale of the Temple at Cape Sounion reflects that.

After visiting the Temple, filled with the beauty, history and culture of this site we will wait to admire one of the most amazing sunsets you could ever imagine. When the sun begins to slowly touch the sea it is the perfect moment for a glass of wine before returning back to your hotel.
