Activity itinerary

Athens (Pass by)
Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup right from your hotel or apartment. If your accommodation is in a pedestrian only area, no worries, we’ll arrange a nearby, easy to find meeting point. As we drive toward the main attractions, we’ll pass by several of Athens most significant highlights. Along the way, your driver guide or tour leader will bring these sights to life with fascinating stories.
Alimos (Pass by)
As we continue, your driver will take you along the stunning Athenian Riviera, where the city meets the sea. You’ll enjoy the view of beautiful coastal districts such as Alimos, the lively seaside town of Glyfada, and the elegant Vouliagmeni, known for its crystal waters.
Lake Vouliagmeni
  • 20m
At the beautiful Lake Vouliagmeni, travelers will discover a hidden natural wonder just outside Athens. This unique lake is fed by both the sea and underground thermal springs, creating crystal clear waters that remain warm year round. Surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs and lush greenery, it’s a peaceful spot away from the city. During the stop, guests can enjoy the stunning scenery, take photos of the emerald waters, or simply relax in the calm atmosphere while the guide will explain everything to them. It’s the perfect introduction to the coastal beauty of the Athenian Riviera before continuing the journey to Cape Sounion.
Sounio Beach
  • 1h 15m
At Cape Sounion Beach, travelers can relax by the waters of the Aegean Sea, right beneath the cliffs that host the Temple of Poseidon. This peaceful beach offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy a coffee, taste fresh local food and the catch of the day at a seaside taverna, or even take a refreshing swim with the temple in view. The setting combines natural beauty with a sense of history, making it a truly memorable stop along the Athenian Riviera.
Temple of Poseidon
  • 1h 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
At the majestic Temple of Poseidon in Cape Sounion, travelers will step back into Ancient Greece while enjoying one of the most stunning coastal views in the country. Perched high on the cliffs above the Aegean Sea, this 5th-century BC temple is dedicated to the god of the sea and is one of Athens most iconic landmarks after the Acropolis. With your guide, you’ll learn the history of the temple and the nearby areas, along with the myths of King Aegeus and the hero Theseus. In addition, for those who participate in the sunset tour, visitors witness the sun as it dips below the horizon and the moon rising beside the Temple of Poseidon.
Athens (Pass by)
On the way back, guests who chose the sunset tour will enjoy the beautiful view of Athens as it lights up at night, a magical way to end your evening.
