Overview

This private trip begins with a hotel pickup in Athens by an executive car or mini van with air conditioning. The driver takes you along the coast of the Saronic Gulf, passing beaches and resorts while sharing local information about Cape Sounion. Upon arrival at Cape Sounion, you visit the Temple of Poseidon, an ancient site built between 444 and 440 BC on a cliff overlooking the sea. You can walk among the ruins, see the white columns, and view Lord Byron’s early 19th-century signature carved on the stone. The location offers broad views over the Aegean Sea, ideal for photography. After the visit, the driver can suggest nearby spots for a meal or a dessert stop featuring waffles and ice cream. This flexible private trip lasts between three and five hours and includes transportation, local expertise from the driver, and an optional extra stop for food or ice cream. Entrance fees and meals are not included, and guide service inside the temple can be arranged separately if available.
