    Lake Vouliagmeni

    Stop at Lake Vouliagmeni on the Athens Riviera — a rare brackish thermal lake framed by cliffs. Time for photos, or an optional dip in the warm spring-fed water.

    Palaia Fokaia

    A local secret on the Apollo Coast: you stop at Palaia Fokaia, a quiet seaside spot with clear, calm water — perfect for a refreshing swim away from the crowds before the Cape Sounion sunset. Bring a towel; your chauffeur waits while you take a dip. (Optional, weather permitting.)

    Arrive at Cape Sounion for the 5th-century-BC Temple of Poseidon, dramatically set on the cliffs above the Aegean. Free time to explore the site and take in panoramic sea views — timed, when possible, for the famous Sounion sunset.
