The most timeless sunset in Greece, on a private tour just for you and your group.
Your English-speaking driver-guide picks you up in central Athens in a private, air-conditioned vehicle and takes you along the Athenian Riviera, the coast road south of the city, to Cape Sounion at the southern tip of Attica.
Perched on a dramatic cliff 60 meters above the Aegean Sea, the Temple of Poseidon has watched over sailors, poets and dreamers for 2,500 years. Lord Byron was so moved he carved his name into the marble. You have free time to explore the archaeological site, then watch the sun sink into the sea as the ancient columns turn gold, and see why the Greeks chose this spot to honor the god of the sea.
After sunset, stay for an optional dinner at a seaside taverna (at your own cost) before returning to Athens under the stars. Because the tour is private, the pace is yours and the price covers your whole group, not each person.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We pick you up from your hotel, apartment or any address within 10 km of Syntagma Square and bring you back to the same place after dark. The pickup time is set by season so that you reach the temple before sunset (usually between 4:00 and 6:00 PM); we confirm the exact time with you after booking. Pickups from the port of Piraeus, the airport or further out can be arranged on request.
