Full description

This guided excursion departs central Athens at around 15:00 and follows the Athenian Riviera to Cape Sounion, with commentary on coastal history and mythology. At the Temple of Poseidon, free time allows photographs and sunset views over the sea.

The trip lasts roughly three to four hours, with Wi-Fi on board. The combined package adds two days on the blue hop-on hop-off network covering Athens, Piraeus, Glyfada and Vouliagmeni, while the cheapest variant may omit that pass.

Temple admission is not included in the basic price. Reviewers praise the sunset, though traffic can lengthen the trip.

Reviews

Sandra – Greece | May 19, 2026 Sandra praised punctuality, the driver and Aliki’s care, as well as the sunset. An overcrowded cafeteria and inconvenient toilet access were disappointments at Sounion.
