Coastal Wonders & Ancient Myths – Guided Sunset Tour to Cape Sounion

Embark on a breathtaking drive along the Athenian Riviera, passing through some of the most elegant seaside suburbs of Athens—Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza—en route to the southernmost point of Attica: Cape Sounion.

Here, atop towering cliffs that plunge into the deep blue Aegean Sea, stand the ancient ruins of the Temple of Poseidon, built in 440 BC to honor the mighty god of the sea. This dramatic setting offers one of the most spectacular views in all of Greece, especially at sunset, when the sky is painted in fiery hues above the waves.

As your guide shares the myth of King Aegeus and Theseus, you’ll uncover the tragic legend that gave the Aegean Sea its name. After your guided tour of the temple, take time to wander the rocky promontory, soak in the magical atmosphere, and capture unforgettable photos.

This tour is ideal for history lovers, mythology fans, photographers, and romantics alike.
Reserve your place today and witness the sunset where gods and legends meet the sea.
