Review of Athens’ Cape Sounion sunset tour, with Temple of Poseidon views, coastal scenery, costs, timing, buses, and practical booking advice.

“RUSHED BIG TIME! Do not book this tour unless you want to ride on a hot bus for over an hour to get a snapshot of Poseidons temple. You have maybe 15-20m at the site. Our guide had to purchase tix at the entrance which delayed our getting into the site (should have been repurchased). The bus was hot and very uncomfortable. Do not expect the guide to offer any information about the site on the long ride. I would not do this again. Not worth the cost. The only reason I gave this tour a 3 star is because the temple itself was awesome at sunset.”

“This tour is a combo of two different tours, the Acropolis and other sights in the morning and then a break before heading to the Temple of Poseidon in the afternoon. Both tours rans efficiently, and our morning guide Merita was extremely knowledgeable. We had a great time with her and our Acropolis guide, Yargos. We learned so much about the history of Athens, and she kept a close eye to offer us water or anything else we needed. Teddy, our guide for the Temple of Poseidon portion, was so incredible that the time we spent with him was honestly probably the highlight of our trip. He went out of…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 20 reviews · 6 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $220

Review of Athens’ private sunset tour to Vouliagmeni Lake and Poseidon Temple, with costs, timing, swim tips, and honest advice.

“This was not a good trip. This is not a tour, simply the driver is driving you to the thermal lake. We were given 2.5h at the lake. After that, we were dropped at the Poseidon temple at 6:40pm, however the sunset was only at 8:40, and there was not much to do there for 2 hours, therefore we missed the sunset as we left after 1 h. The main problem of the tour is that this is not a real tour, simply a driver that drives the tourists between the hotel and the two locations. For that service, this is overpriced.”
