Full description

This half-day tour of about five and a half hours collects guests from their Athens accommodation and follows the Riviera by air-conditioned vehicle. It passes the Vouliagmeni Lake area and stops at a bakery for Greek coffee and bougatsa.

A beach stop offers swimming in summer or a seaside pause in cooler months. At Cape Sounion visitors explore the Temple of Poseidon on their own and take in the coastal views.

A morning departure around 9:00 and an afternoon one around 15:45 are offered, the latter timed for sunset, and a taverna stop allows a meal at your own expense.
