    What you'll see and do

    1. Temple of Poseidon

      Discover one of Greece’s most treasured heritages- The Temple of Poseidon on our half-day tour. Build in the 5th century B.C. on the peak of Cape Sunio standing at a height of almost 60 meters, the time-defying remains of the temples are entirely made of white Agrilesa marble. Participants will be picked up from their accommodation in Athens about 40 minutes before 11 am on a comfortable private vehicle and then drive along the breathtaking coastal road, passing by the wondrous beaches of Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, Varkiza all along the Athenian Riviera. As we enjoy the wonderous view of the Saronic Gulf, we approach Cape Sunio and spot the white marble pillars of the Temple emerge. After we visit the temple for about 1.5 hours and take in the magnificent panorama, we have time to stroll on the rocky promontory of Sunio and its surroundings and, before heading back, we’ll stop for 2 hours at Anavyssos to indulge in delicious traditional Greek mezes, take a swim and relax on the beach.

    Cape Sounio Temple of Poseidon: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Cape Sounio Temple of Poseidon cost?

    +

    Prices start at $79 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 Cape Sounio Temple of Poseidon take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Cape Sounio Temple of Poseidon worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Cape Sounio Temple of Poseidon?

    +

    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 Cape Sounio Temple of Poseidon suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cape Sounio Temple of Poseidon?

    +

    Around 1 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cape Sounio Temple of Poseidon 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 Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. 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.

    +

    Included: Professional friendly driver; Wifi and selective music; A half day tour to Cape Sounio; Swim stop on the beach; and pick-up and drop-off. Not included: Lunch; and Entrance to the Temple of Poseidon. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Cape Sounio Temple of Poseidon include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 5 listed pickup locations in and around Athens. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Cape Sounio Temple of Poseidon offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Cape Sounio Temple of Poseidon?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Cape Sounio Temple of Poseidon wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Cape Sounio Temple of Poseidon if the weather is bad?
