We leave the city centre of Athens for an escape to the 'Riviera of Attica'. Drive a long a scenic costal road with wonderful beaches and majestic view of the Saronic Gulf, as we pass from some of the most beautiful suburbs (Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, Varkiza, Lagonissi and Anavissos) to the southern-most point of the entire peninsula, Cape Sounion.
The ancient Greek traveler writer and geographer Pausanias mentions Cape Sounion at the very beginning of his description of Greece as a 'sacred promontory of the Athenians'. Your guide will tell you the history and mythology of this unique location with great strategic and religious importance in ancient times.
You will visit the impressive Temple of Poseidon, built by the edge off the cliff, and enjoy a breathtaking view of the Aegean Sea. Available in the morning and afternoon, for a beautiful sunset experience.
