Overview

Your professional English speaking driver will meet you at the lobby of your hotel in Athens or at Piraeus port. You will board your private vehicle and start driving south towards Cape Sounion. Your English speaking driver will give you information about the districts you will be driving through.

On your way to Cape Sounion, you will pass through some of the most beautiful suburbs of Athens right next to the sea, like Faliro, Voula and Vouliagmeni which among other things, is famous for its underground lake.

Then you will enter the windy road by the Saronic Gulf and you will enjoy driving next to the sea, passing several villages and little islands.

As soon as you arrive in Cape Sounion, you can walk all the way to the top where the temple of Poseidon is and take pictures of the magnificent view all around you.

On the way back to your hotel or the port, you can stop at one of the many seaside tavernas to enjoy lunch or dinner, or you can stop at one of the beaches for a swim.

What To Expect

Temple of Poseidon

The temple of Poseidon was built in 444 BC to calm down Poseidon, after Athena was honored so much, by having the Parthenon built in honor of her. Since Athens was a great naval power in the ancient times, and their ships were exporting goods all over the known world, but also had many enemies, it was smart of them to use Cape Sounion as an alternative port. Moreover, very close to Cape Sounion, existed the mines of silver and lead of Lavrion. From the port of Sounion was that most of the lead was being exported. That was why Poseidon, the god of the sea and sailors, should be honored and always stand by their side on these long journeys through the sea, providing them with favorable winds and calm waters.

Vouliagmeni Lake, in the heart of the Athenian Riviera, is the hidden treasure of Attica’s nature. Situated on an idyllic landscape, this rare geological phenomenon is waiting to be discovered. The lake’s brackish waters which are continuously replenished both by the sea and the underground thermal springs offer a natural and unique thermal spa experience.
