    Couples sunset trip

    This is our second tour with this company. We had George again as requested. It’s like seeing our friend again. I left something in the van on our first trip and George drove back to our place the following day. Very happy with the tour. Stopped along the way for some nice views and photo opportunities. Temple of Poseidon during sunset was beautiful. We even had an amazing dinner.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind words,We hope to see you again in the future!!All the best to you and your family from Enjoy Greece Tours team

    Cape Sunion to remember

    This is the 2nd tour we booked with this company. We booked with Kostas again bec we knew he will give us a good value for our money. And of course we requested for George to be our driver/tour guide. After spending 5 days with him on another tour, it was like meeting a friend again. He knew what we like. Highly recommended trip. George made stops along the way for photo opportunities. And always bring us to a good place for dinner.

    George was great!

    Highly recommend this. The temple is beautiful at sunset. There’s a cafe before you get to the ticket booth for the temple. The drive down to the cape was very scenic with George pointing out lots of great neighborhoods, beaches and coves on the way. He pulled off so we could get some photos at a beautiful spot near where he went to university. Definitely worth it if you have a long enough trip to fit in the city center monuments and museums, or if it is your second time to Athens.

    Reliable drivers, not tour guides.

    The tour guides are only drivers. They are very reliable with getting you to a destination and picking you up. There is little conversation during the drive and the tour guide was not knowledgeable. He kept talking on the phone to his friends. All tickets are extra and they will inform you at that moment to purchase the tickets. For the Poseidon tour which included Lake Vouliagmeni, there was a fence and you could not even get inside to see it. I would not recommend this unless you are only looking for a reliable driver.

    Response from the operator: Dear Amy,we understand your bad mood the day of the tour,since the weather was bad(raining with strong winds)but we cant control it.Also you got one of our best driver to take you to cape sounio and there is no doubt about his knowledge of all the historical places we are visiting.Another fact is that in all our tours,is clearly mentioned,that tickets,meals and personal expenses are not included.You could hire a licenced guide to enter the temple of poseidon with you and give you a private guided tour but the price would be double than you paid,since the guides are independent. Anyway,thank you for choosing us.You are welcome to book us again in the future.

    Amazing Sunset at Poseidon's Temple, Cape Sounio: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.

    How much does Amazing Sunset at Poseidon's Temple, Cape Sounio cost?

    +

    Prices start at $450 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Amazing Sunset at Poseidon's Temple, Cape Sounio take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.

    Is Amazing Sunset at Poseidon's Temple, Cape Sounio worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Amazing Sunset at Poseidon's Temple, Cape Sounio?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Amazing Sunset at Poseidon's Temple, Cape Sounio suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Amazing Sunset at Poseidon's Temple, Cape Sounio?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Amazing Sunset at Poseidon's Temple, Cape Sounio start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Athens?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Small Group Greek Traditional Food Tour in Athens 20+ Tastings, Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Athens?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Athens?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
