Poseidon at Sunset
What an amazing experience!! Giorgos picked us up on time from our hotel in a really nice clean van. The drive was scenic and he answered all our questions and helped us plan our next day at the lake and beach.

Amazing!!!
I have been to Athens a number of times and don't really have an interest to continue to spend time in Athens. This trip I had a first time traveler with me and he wanted to stay in Athens to see a bit of Athens. I wanted to try to see something new, I add this trip to our agenda. It was amazing!!! The colors were unbelievable and spectacular. A must see sunset!
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Always at your service.

Go at sunset!
We visited Cape Sounio with Theo on a windy day in October. It was wonderful! He picked us up in a comfortable clean black Mercedes SUV right on time at our hotel near the Plaka. He drove us through Athens and showed us the coastal beach areas as we went, giving us a great idea of the "other" Athens, which was surprising and beautiful. We arrived at Cape Sounio and Poseidon's Temple about an hour before sunset, and we walked up to the temple and enjoyed the view and the beauty of hte sunset. On the drive home we stopped at a fresh seafood restaurant and had some of the freshest and most delicious fish we've ever had, sitting by the water. Theo was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all things Greek, and is a great conversationalist in strong English!

Cape Sounio & Temple Of Poseidon Breathtaking Views Private Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Cape Sounio & Temple Of Poseidon Breathtaking Views Private Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $142 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 Breathtaking Views Private Trip take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Breathtaking Views Private Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 384 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 Breathtaking Views Private Trip?
+
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 Breathtaking Views Private Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cape Sounio & Temple Of Poseidon Breathtaking Views Private Trip?
+
Around 134 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cape Sounio & Temple Of Poseidon Breathtaking Views Private Trip 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.
What is included in Cape Sounio & Temple Of Poseidon Breathtaking Views Private Trip?
+

Not included: Entrance fees; Meal/Ice-cream; Gratuities; and Tour Guide in Archeaeological site (can be arranged depending on availability). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 453 listed pickup locations in and around Athens. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Cape Sounio & Temple Of Poseidon Breathtaking Views Private Trip offered in?
