We  start our journey with a scenic along the Athenian Riviera to Cape Sounion. Our first stop the magical Lake Vouliagmeni, a Nature 2000 thermal lake, a place of natural beauty and serenity. During our drive we'll stop at stunning viewpoints to admire the lush green scenery and the deep blue waters of the Aegean Sea. These locations are ideal for taking refreshing, unforgettable photos and soaking in the atmosphere of the Athenian coast.

Our journey culminates at the magnificent Temple of Poseidon, which has stood for more than 2000 years on the cliffs of Cape Sounion. One of Greece’s most important archaeological sites, the temple was built during the same time as the Parthenon in central Athens. The Temple of Poseidon and the cliffs of Sounion are deeply rooted in Greek mythology and surrounded by legends and tales that you will hear during the guided tour.

After visiting the archaeological site, you can choose to enjoy some free time at a nearby beach or have lunch in the picturesque seaside town of Lavrio. On our way back, we pass through the rural countryside of the Attica basin. This half-day tour combines history, mythology, nature, and local gastronomy, a complete and private experience where you’ll enjoy the sea and the hidden treasures of the region.
