One of the most iconic sights in mainland Greece, Cape Sounion is a must for photographers, Instagrammers, and history buffs. The Temple of Poseidon is perched on the edge of a cliff, located 70 meters above the sea. Built in the 5th century BC, the temple is in the typical Greek hexastyle - featuring six doric columns on the front portico. 16 out of the original 38 columns are still standing today, and they were 20 feet tall. During our way back from Sounio, we will stop at the Lake of Vouliagmeni, another stop worth while visiting. Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion was built in 44 B.C., and many of its original Doric columns are still standing. This tour allows you to skip the hassle of finding your own way to Sounion so you can relax and enjoy a pre-planned activity and a delicious meal in a traditional restaurant with splendid sea view.

Sounio and Lake Vouliagmeni Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Sounio and Lake Vouliagmeni Tour 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 Sounio and Lake Vouliagmeni Tour 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 Sounio and Lake Vouliagmeni Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Sounio and Lake Vouliagmeni Tour?
+
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 Sounio and Lake Vouliagmeni Tour 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 Sounio and Lake Vouliagmeni Tour?
+
Around 0 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 Sounio and Lake Vouliagmeni Tour 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.

Not included: Lunch; Licensed tour guide upon request; and AdmissEntry/Admission Fees - Sounio Archeological site (15€ per adult). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

What languages is Sounio and Lake Vouliagmeni Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
