Half-day Athens trip to Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon, with expert myth stories and optional sunset views over the Aegean.
“It is one of the nicest excursions someone can take from Athens. The view from the temple is breathtaking and it worths to visit. The bus driver, Yiannis, was polite and very careful on the road. Our tour guide, Katerina, was very informative and with a great sense of humor. Also, the bus was clean. The only downside was the entrance fee to the temple, which costs €20. I would recommend this trip could include a stop for a swim in the sea, which truly worth it!”
