Review of Athens to Cape Sounion, including Poseidon’s Temple, sunset views, transport, €20 entry fee, guides, and practical tips.

“The tour guide was a brilliant story teller and knew everything about the temple and wider Greek mythology. We also got free term at the temple to enjoy the sunset and explore either independently or with an audio guide which is very informative. The sunset was magical and was the highlight of my time in Greece. Couldn’t recommend this experience more!!”

“Fantastic tour!

“The temple and scenery are wonderful. Our guide and driver were also great. We walked around and took photos, but there was a lot of time to kill before the sunset - the tour could perhaps be a little shorter.
