This activity is very exciting and easy access for all participants. The sunset is absolutely stunning! Snacks, drinks and restrooms available.
The driver Christos is super kind and professional. He picked me up on time, made several stops along the way for the sceneries, and offered interesting introductions. The Poseidon temple is a must-see site in the suburb of Athens. It is located by the seaside among the mountain, which makes it a special landmark here in Greece.
Hi Oscar.. Thank you for taking the time to write your kindness review
An exceptional sunset in front of the Temple of Poseidon and over the sea , Cape Sounion is an unmissable
Thank you a lot for your kindness.
This site is famous for its sunshade. It is indeed beautiful with the temple in the foreground. Don’t go too late because there are crowds at the entrance. We were able to take beautiful pictures before the crowd arrived. Things to do and see
