★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 8,241 reviews · 5h 30m · from $23Our pick

Half-day trip from Athens to Cape Sounion for a Temple of Poseidon sunset, with guided myths, audio guide, and free time on the cape.

“We are so glad we booked this tour. I debated if taking the metro to the starting point was worth it but it totally was! We avoided so much traffic and got on the road right away missing traffic. It was very easy to get to and super easy to find once off the train! Our guide was great… the views were great. We had to pay about €20 I think to enter the temple but it wasn’t required if you didn’t want to enter the park. The ride home was in the dark and we hit a ton of traffic but that’s Athena! I really enjoyed the tour and…”

Half-day small-group trip from Athens to Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon, with hotel pickup, sea views, and a sunset option.

“I very much enjoyed this tour. The van was comfortable and the tour guide was knowledgeable. I liked that once we were at the temple, we had over an hour to explore and take pictures on our own. There were signs at different spots if you wanted more information. For me, the amount of time that the tour guide spoke versus free time was perfect. I would recommend this tour unless you are someone who wants the tour guide to walk with you and go into great detail the whole time.”

“Our tour guide was amazing. Told a lot about the history/different myths. Temple was nice but it was super cloudy (and windy) and it even started to rain so couldn't really enjoy the sunset. But obviously that is a factor that can't be controlled 🙃 Did take a couple of beautiful pictures though, so I'm happy.”

“Our driver Victor was very prompt to arrive at our hotel for pickup. He was very nice and pointed out points of interest along our route. We had two hours at the lake. We knew to bring our own towels. You can rent a cabana but be sure to do that head of time. They have lots of lounge chairs though that are included in your entrance fee. That is not covered in the tour price. The drive to the temple is beautiful! Victor stopped so we could take some nice photos. We had an hour at the temple ruins. That was plenty of time. We chose to stop for…”

“The Temple of Poseidon and Cape Sounio should not be missed during your visit to Athens. Beautiful drive out to the coast of the Aegean Sea. While we had a little light rain, it did not damper our great experience visiting this sight. Our guide, Melina, was fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable of Greek history and mythology that so enhanced our enjoyment. Great conversationalist, professional, personable and a true gem. This tour is not to be missed and you will be extremely blessed if Melina is your guide. Peggy and Michael”
