Overview

Discover the ancient magic of Cape Sounio on this 6-hour sunset tour from Athens, ideal for couples, families, and small groups of 2–10 travelers. Journey along the stunning Athens Riviera in the comfort of a luxurious Mercedes vehicle, enjoying panoramic coastal views as you head to one of Greece’s most iconic landmarks—the Temple of Poseidon.

Perched on the cliffs of Cape Sounio, this ancient sanctuary offers a sunset experience unlike any other, where golden light bathes the marble ruins in a mythical glow. Along the way, our knowledgeable local drivers share fascinating stories from Greek mythology and history, offering a cultural immersion that goes far beyond sightseeing.

To make the evening even more special, the tour concludes with a traditional Greek dinner at a handpicked seaside taverna—just steps from the Aegean Sea. This is not just a tour; it’s a sensory journey through time, flavors, and landscapes that will stay with you forever.
