    Temple of Poseidon

    Beautiful drive and opportunity to see the coast. We visited Temple of Poseidon and had dinner at 4 brothers.

    via Viator

    Alan_S · October 2026

    A tour and guide with wealth of knowledge and fun.

    Tas is very friendly, conversational, a good listener, and holds a wealth of knowledge of Grecian Biblical history and local cultural. His recommendations on the timing of our schedule were spot on, including altering the itinerary to best beat the crowds. He provided good break times in the drive, and took several pictures of us during our stops.

    Perfect day out

    I would thoroughly recommend this tour- it was a lovely experience and the perfect day out in Athens. Peter our driver looked after us so well and the communication started before the trip so that we were reassured about exactly what would happen/ being picked up etc. Peter was very knowledgable about Greek history and gave us a great amount of background that made the whole trip more interesting. He was very relaxed and this put us at ease. We also enjoyed having dinner on the way - even though the day wasn't as sunny as we had hoped! It is an expensive trip but we are glad we made it

    Private Sunset Tour of Cape Sounion, Temple of Poseidon & Athens Riviera: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Sunset Tour of Cape Sounion, Temple of Poseidon & Athens Riviera cost?

    +

    Prices start at $222 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 Private Sunset Tour of Cape Sounion, Temple of Poseidon & Athens Riviera 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 Private Sunset Tour of Cape Sounion, Temple of Poseidon & Athens Riviera worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 107 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 Private Sunset Tour of Cape Sounion, Temple of Poseidon & Athens Riviera?

    +

    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 Private Sunset Tour of Cape Sounion, Temple of Poseidon & Athens Riviera 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 Private Sunset Tour of Cape Sounion, Temple of Poseidon & Athens Riviera?

    +

    Around 37 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 Private Sunset Tour of Cape Sounion, Temple of Poseidon & Athens Riviera 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.
