Attica Day Tour - Brauron/ Artemis, Lavrion, Cape Sounio/ Poseidon Temple (8h)
Description
We visit Brauron, Lavrion, Sounion as travelers, not as tourists. We get as excited as you to travel, to enjoy the history, scenery & photography. If you want to see most of Attica, then we suggest to combine all sites in a full day tour. Schedule is flexible, but most importantly we will view the sites from all different angles. The day starts with a convenient pickup and takes you to Brauron. Visit the archaeological site (Artemis Temple) & Museum. Continue to Lavrion visit the oldest theater Thoricus in Greece. Next drive to unique costal road to Cape Sounion. Visit Poseidon Temple with one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in the world (on a clear day you can see at least seven islands). We drive via Attica regions & popular Athenians resorts. Finish the day with a lunch/dinner in front the sea. (Time for swimming)

This is a wonderful, well-organized Museum in Vravrona with many artifacts and pieces of art.. It is “user-friendly” with all the exhibits located on one floor and, also, handicap accessible.

An amazing scenery of temple of Artemis (Diana) and a beautiful museum The sanctuary of Artemis at Brauron / Vravron is an early sacred site on the eastern coast of Attica near the Aegean Sea in a small inlet. The Archaeological Museum of Brauron/ Vravron — located around a small hill 330 m to the ESE — contains an extensive and important collection of finds from the site throughout its period of use. Same tickest as Museum
The Ancient Theater of Thorikos built around 525 BC (approx 2550 years ago) is the oldest known theater in the world but lies almost forgotten & a short drive from the more famous Temple of Poseidon in Cape Sounion. Without guards or fences you can just walk into this site & imagine the performances that once graced its stage with the background of the Aegean sea in the distance.
Lavrio is a town in southeastern part of Attica. It is part of Athens metropolitan area and the seat of the municipality of Lavreotiki. Lavtio was famous in Classical antiquity for its silver mines, which was one of the chief sources of revenue of the Athenian state. The metallic silver was mainly used for coinage. The Archaeological Museum of Lavrion shows much of the story of these mines (visit optional). Our visit to this beautiful harbor includes time for lunch or dinner
