Embark on a refined journey to the southernmost tip of the Attic peninsula. Sounio Sunset Serenity is a 6-hour private escape designed for those who appreciate the finer things in life: breathtaking views, ancient history, and world-class coastal beauty.

Your experience begins 3 hours before sunset to ensure a leisurely pace. We bypass the highways in favor of the Athenian Riviera coastal road, offering panoramic Saronic Gulf views from your luxury executive vehicle. We pause at Lake Vouliagmeni for a refreshment and photos before continuing our “Aegean Odyssey.”

The climax of your journey is the Temple of Poseidon where you will witness the marble columns turn golden as the sun sinks into the sea. To conclude this elegant evening, we have reserved time for you to enjoy a seaside dinner at one of the region’s renowned taverns, allowing you to savor fresh Mediterranean flavors under the stars before our smooth return to Athens.

Itinerary

Duration: 6 hours (approximately)
  • Glyfada (Pass by)

    As we will be driving to the south of Attica, we will pass by Elliniko, where the old international airport of Athens was located until 2000 and now Europe’s greatest urban regeneration project is taking place to transform the area, Glyfada which marks the entrance in the luxury south suburbs of Athens where the locals go to shop and play by the sea, Vouliagmani & Voula where palm trees & fountains line our way to Sounio and the bustling little resort of Varkiza, where an outstanding seascape unfolds with impressive coves below the coastal road. Throughout the journey, your driver will share tales from antiquity and Greek mythology connected with the archaeological site whenever it’s safe to do so, ensuring both your enjoyment and safety on the road.
