Cape Sounio private half day trip from Athens

Sunset at the Temple of Poseidon

Cape Sounio is the classic Athens half-day escape: a drive down the Athenian Riviera with the Saronic Gulf glittering beside you, ending at the Temple of Poseidon on its clifftop above the Aegean. Byron carved his name here; most visitors settle for the finest sunset in Attica. Time it for late afternoon and watch the columns turn gold.

Private car and driver, hotel pick-up in Athens, and the freedom to stop along the Riviera for a swim or a seafood lunch on the way.

Plan it: read the Cape Sounio guide, make a full day of it with the Athens & Sounio combo, or compare all 18 tours.
