Cape Sounio: Half day tour
This tour takes you along the stunning coastal road to two of Attica’s most breathtaking landmarks — the Lake of Vouliagmeni and the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounio. Relax by the crystal-clear thermal waters of the lake, surrounded by dramatic cliffs, before continuing to the southernmost tip of Attica to admire the ancient temple dedicated to the god of the sea. End your journey with an unforgettable sunset over the Aegean, where history, mythology, and natural beauty come together in perfect harmony.
Places You’ll Visit:
Temple of Poseidon
Standing proudly on the edge of a 60-meter cliff overlooking the Aegean Sea, the Temple of Poseidon is one of the most iconic monuments of ancient Greece. Built in the 5th century BC, it was dedicated to Poseidon, god of the sea, protector of sailors and travelers. Its marble columns have witnessed countless sunsets and seafaring tales, inspiring legends — even Lord Byron carved his name into one of them during his visit. The panoramic views from this sacred site are among the most spectacular in the country.
Cape Sounio Sunset
There are few sights as mesmerizing as the sunset at Cape Sounio. As the golden light bathes the ancient ruins of the Temple of Poseidon and the deep blue of the Aegean, visitors are treated to a truly unforgettable scene. The cape, marking the southernmost tip of Attica, has been a navigational landmark since antiquity — the last glimpse of land for sailors departing Athens. Today, it offers a perfect blend of history, romance, and natural beauty, making it a must-see experience for every traveler.
Lake Vouliagmeni
Nestled in a natural limestone cave along the Athenian Riviera, the Lake of Vouliagmeni is a true geological wonder. Fed by underground thermal springs, the lake maintains a warm temperature year-round — around 22–29°C — creating a relaxing natural spa. Its waters are rich in minerals known for their therapeutic properties, while small Garra Rufa fish provide a gentle exfoliation for swimmers. Surrounded by stunning rock formations and lush greenery, it’s a tranquil oasis just minutes from the vibrant city of Athens.
