Overview

We visit Athens & Cape Sounion as travelers, not as tourists. We get as excited as you to travel, to enjoy history, culture, scenery & photography. If you want to see most of Athens & Sounion have to offer, we suggest to combine both sites in a full day tour. The day starts with convenient pickup from your location and then takes you to the Acropolis Hill, Zeus Temple, Olympic stadium, Parliament & Syndagma Square. Continue via a scenic coastal road to Cape Sounion. Visit Poseidon Temple with one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in the world (on a clear day you can see at least seven islands). You also have the flexibility to explore each attraction independently or add a licensed archaeologist guide (additional cost).
