Along with your Temple of Poseidon tour, you will have a fantastic view of the Aegean Sea.

After meeting your professional and English-speaking guide, begin your Cape Sounion tour with a scenic ride along the beautiful coast of Greece. Marvel at the beauty of the beaches along the Saronic Gulf, such as Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza, as well as the numerous natural caves.

The incredible views of this tour only start there. Prepare to be amazed as the scenic ride brings you to your tour of Cape Sounion. Surrounded by water on three sides, Cape Sounion looks over the Aegean Sea. According to legend, the Aegean Sea received its name from Aegeus, the king of Athens.

You will be able to visit the marvelous ruins of the Temple of Poseidon, originally built in 444 BC. Stand in the site that the ancient Greeks chose to worship their god of sea, due to the phenomenal view of the water on three sides.
