Sounion half day tour


DETAILS

Begin your tour by exploring the Athenian Riviera, a stunning coastal stretch located south of Athens. Enjoy a leisurely drive along the coast, taking in the breathtaking views of the sparkling blue Aegean Sea and the sandy beaches. Marvel at the luxurious resorts, lively beach clubs, and picturesque coastal towns along the way.

Make your way to Lake Vouliagmeni, a hidden gem nestled on the Athenian Riviera. This natural lake offers a serene oasis with mineral-rich waters. Take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear lake or relax on the sunbeds by the water's edge. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even try snorkeling or diving to explore the underwater caves and rock formations.

After enjoying the tranquility of Lake Vouliagmeni, continue your journey to Cape Sounion. This cape is home to the famous Temple of Poseidon, perched atop a cliff overlooking the Aegean Sea. Explore the ancient ruins of this Doric temple, dedicated to the god of the sea, Poseidon, and take in the mesmerizing panoramic views of the surrounding coastline.

As the sun begins to set, find a spot near the Temple of Poseidon to witness a spectacular sunset over the Aegean Sea. The golden hues painting the sky and reflecting on the water create a magical atmosphere.

After marveling at the sunset, make your way back to Athens, reflecting on the natural beauty and historical significance you experienced along the Athenian Riviera, Lake Vouliagmeni, and Sounion.
