Awesome half day excursion away from the city center
Booked this tour for our group of 10 that included children and grandparents. Communication was great leading up to the experience. Our driver/guide was personable, knowledgeable and flexible. Visited a beach that was clearly mostly locals and wonderful. He suggested a place to grab a quick bite before sunset at Poseidon. Overall great experience at a reasonable price.

Highly recommend
George was such a wonderful driver. I felt totally safe going by myself since my husband unfortunately couldn't make it with us. The sunset view at Cape Sounion is absolutely beautiful. A must see.

Excellent driver Michael made all the difference!
My adult son and I wanted to see the Temple of Poseidon at sunset. It was a big item on our list of things to see while in Greece. We travelled from Ottawa, Canada. Our driver Michael was prompt, friendly and very professional. He gave us a lot of information along the way about the history of the country and the sites we passed. He stopped at an excellent spot for us to take photos before even arriving at the Temple of Poseidon. He waited patiently for us to see the sites we were interested in and even while we had a quick drink afterwards at the onsite restaurant. We never felt rushed and always felt safe with his driving skills. He was a very enjoyable guide and driver to have and we felt very fortunate. We intended to contact the company to ask for him specifically to pick us up at the port when we arrived back in Athens after travelling for two weeks, but we ended up flying into Athens airport instead of taking a ferry and caught our flight 2 hours later. I hope the company rewards employees like Michael because he is an asset and is the person who is out there with the clients doing great business and providing excellent customer service. Will recommend the company and Michael specifically to friends who are going to Greece.
Response from the operator: Dear Connie R, Thank you very much for taking the time to post this excellent review. We & Michael are very happy that you enjoyed the Sounion Sunset Private tour and remained fully satisfied from our services. We are looking forward to welcome you again in the futute. Our best regards, JG Athens Tours.

The lookout of the two seas
Giorgos was such a magnificent guide and he took us to the most fascinating place! This location is a surreal mix of the beautiful ocean and the god who presided over it. You really get lost in the mystery of it all. Highly recommend it! Thank you for a memorable evening :)!

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sounion (Poseidon Temple) at Sunset - Private Half Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Sounion (Poseidon Temple) at Sunset - Private Half Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $310 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 Sounion (Poseidon Temple) at Sunset - Private Half Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Sounion (Poseidon Temple) at Sunset - Private Half Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 10 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 Sounion (Poseidon Temple) at Sunset - Private Half Day 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 Sounion (Poseidon Temple) at Sunset - Private Half Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sounion (Poseidon Temple) at Sunset - Private Half Day Tour?
+
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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sounion (Poseidon Temple) at Sunset - Private Half Day 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 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.
