The Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion is one of Greece’s most iconic ancient sites, perched on a cliff overlooking the Aegean Sea. Built in the 5th century BCE during the Golden Age of Athens, the temple was dedicated to Poseidon, god of the sea, as a symbol of Athens’ naval strength. Its location was strategic, marking the point where sailors would bid farewell to the land or catch their first glimpse of home. The temple’s stunning Doric columns and breathtaking sunsets make it a popular destination, blending natural beauty with historical significance.
Kape Beach, located near Cape Sounion, is a hidden gem on the Athenian Riviera, known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and secluded atmosphere. Surrounded by rocky cliffs and lush vegetation, this beach offers a peaceful escape from the bustling city, making it ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing. Although it’s a bit tricky to access due to its steep path, the effort is rewarded with stunning, unspoiled natural beauty.

Wonderful, leisurely tour down Athens Riveria to Temple of Poseidon, Cape Beach & Lake Vouliagemeni. Our tour guide, George, was welcoming, kind, and knowledgeable. Made for a lovely, relaxed day with snacks, waters, beach equipment, and plenty of time at each location to explore individually. Wonderful experience
George was a great guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. the spots we went to were very scenic and we were given ample time at each. Would 100% recommend
A wonderful day trip away from the hustle and bustle of Athens. The Mediterranean is beautiful from any angle and swimming in both the ocean and a warm water lake were highlights. George was a wonderful driver and tour guide.
informative guide, interesting visit, never swam in the lake before, sea had a a lot of waves. im very satisfied with my tour. good value for money. i was given 2 waters, a orange juice & 2 pastries which was good energy before swimming in the lake. id highly recommend this tour
A relaxing trip with time to enjoy Greeces mainland coastal scenery and a spectacular sunset at Cape Sounion
The whole day was amazing, it started with meeting George who was very welcoming. His gentle manner set the whole day. For someone who had never done yoga George made the session at our level and pace, very supportive and encouraging, gentle speaking helped centre our focus, if anyone has not tried yoga before is a great experience to start with and to get out of the city, then relaxing at the wellness lake made the day so great. Thank you George!!!
