Review of the Cape Sounion and Temple of Poseidon tour from Athens, with coastal views, beach time, sunset tips, costs, and practical advice.

“The pickup was smooth, with Katerina meeting us at a meeting point just a few minutes walk from our hotel. The stop-off at Lake Vouliagmeni was a welcome break, and we had plenty of time to look around the Temple of Poseidon. We were very lucky on the day as the weather was beautiful, so the light was wonderful for pictures at sunset. Towards the end of the trip the road is a bit twisty, so my daughter felt travel sick, the stop off to view the temple from a distance was very welcome. Katerina was very nice and informative, and gave the trip a fun, relaxed feel.”
