Temple of Poseidon and Lake Vouliagmeni Private Tour

Some ancient sites are best seen in daylight. The Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion is best seen as the sun disappears into the Aegean. Perched on a dramatic sea cliff at the southernmost tip of Attica, this 5th-century BC monument to the god of the sea is one of Greece's most photographed landmarks — and for good reason. As the afternoon light shifts and the sky turns amber and rose over the open water, the marble columns of the temple seem to glow from within. It is the kind of view that stays with you long after you leave Greece. Your private tour departs Athens in the afternoon, following the scenic coastal road of the Athenian Riviera south through Glyfada and Vouliagmeni. At the site, you will have time to explore the ruins at your own pace, learn about the mythology and history of this sacred place, and find your perfect vantage point before the sun sets over the sea. This is not just a tour. It is the finest hour of the Greek day.
