What to expect

The Saronic Gulf offers up one of the most scenic stretches of coastline in Greece. Enjoy an afternoon of fresh sea air and wonderful sweeping views with this trip from Athens to Cape Sounion. With a mixture of guided and free time, you'll be able to make the most of the visit to this archaeological site and area of natural beauty.

Journey along the coast road, passing the beaches of Glyfada, Vouliagmeni and Varkiza, arriving at the most southerly point of the Attica Peninsula, Cape Sounion. Here the white marble pillars of the Temple of Poseidon stand defiantly atop a cliff top.

After a guided visit to the Temple of Poseidon – which was commissioned by Pericles in 440 BC – you'll have time to walk at leisure on the rocky promontory of Cape Sounion, a place steeped in legend. Here you can enjoy views of the sparkling Aegean Sea and islands far below you.

    The journey is very long, and while the guide did point out various sights along the route the tanoy system made it difficult to hear/understand what he said. When we arrived at Cape Sounion we had less than 30 minutes to explore the site. Overall I felt like we were a nuisance to the guide.

    Not long enough at the site. Long journey to make for such a short visit. Information from guide was not engaging enough. Lacking passion about the subject. This is how it came across to our party.

    Enjoyed the actual tour, interesting information and sights. One issue that needs addressing is the duration information, was told on the voucher tour was 2to 4 hours but took five and a half hours which meant we missed a reservation booking later on, if we had been given accurate information would have made other arrangements.

    Felt sick after the coach drive as the driver was throwing the coach around a lot. Once we arrived we got told we only had an hour. I did ask to book the sunset tour but thought the afternoon tour was the same. Place itself was very good just limited on time.

    Tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, the drive down along the coast was beautiful. Site itself was really pretty and the views were gorgeous. Cafe associated with the site was really nice as well - could take away or sit in for drinks.

Excursão turística de dia inteiro a Nafplio e Micenas saindo de Atenas

Este passeio de dia inteiro parece feito sob medida para fãs de história. Ele começa com uma visita ao Canal de Corinto, para uma olhada na hidrovia artificial que liga o Mar Jônico ao Mar Egeu. Depois de tirar algumas fotos, você seguirá para as ruínas de Micenas para um passeio. Dizem que este antigo assentamento foi onde os gregos partiram para sua expedição para conquistar a cidade de Troia. Daqui, você seguirá para Nafplio, que foi a capital do Reino da Grécia de 1827 a 1834.
