Vé di động
The lacy coastal road that begins in the Athenian suburb of Glyfada and winds its way through Vouliagmeni and Lagonisi to reach Cape Sounio is one of Attica’s most sublime routes. Small beaches with their sandy shores or rocky stretches, crystal-clear sparkling water and a perfectly blue sky accompany you along the way and delight the senses, mind, and soul of anyone taking this gorgeous route to get to one of Greece’s most idyllic spots, Cape Sounio.
From a distance, your gaze is captivated by the ruins of the temple of Poseidon, commanding, stunning, a characteristic example of classical architecture of the 5th century BC. This is the spot that the ancient Athenians chose to honor their god Poseidon, within a fortress constructed to protect their coastline.
Millions of visitors from around the globe also come here to gaze upon the sun setting into the arms of the Saronic Gulf. A memory that stays with them for a lifetime...

5.00We spent the afternoon on a tour to the Temple of Poseidon with our driver Alex. We also made a short stop to view Lake Vouliagmeni on the way to the temple and a stop for a late lunch at the 4 Brothers Tavern where the staff is genuinely friendly and polite, and the fish is fresh and amazing. I highly recommend My Athens Transfer and our Driver Alex when visiting Athens Greece. You won’t regret it.

5.00It is a long drive from Athens Plaka area. Our driver absolutely knew the area and shared insights and interesting information. We did make a couple of stops along the way for photos. I do not recommend for anyone with limited walking ability. The wheelchair ramp at the Temple of Poseidon only goes up about half way to the temple.
Great day trip outside of Athens

5.00Fantastic trip to see Temple of Poseidon at sunset. Michael was our driver. He was knowledgable, courteous and prompt. And a great driver in a city that’s not easy to drive in. Absolutely recommend!
First visit to Athens, hopefully not the last!

5.00Michael was our guide and driver to Temple of Poseidon for the sunset. He was informative and knowledgeable about all the sights we passed along the way. He was clear as to how to visit the temple and where to meet him when we were finished. He was a great driver, very safe and the vehicle was spotless. If we had more time we would absolutely book another day trip outside of Athens with him. Very professional and a great guide. He also gave us some suggestions on what to do our last day in Athens, which was very helpful. Highly recommend!

5.00Pleasant half day tour from Athens. Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon is spectacular (entrance €20) but there isn’t a whole lot to see on the way there and back. Constantinos was an entertaining guide and the van was comfortable.
Wonderful 5 hour private tour

5.00Our guide, Mike Iliadis, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed our 5 hour private tour with him, he showed us many areas along the coast and shared many facts and lots of history. He was a safe driver and even offered to take us to the pharmacy and grocery store. Highly recommend Mike!
