Overview

Travelling south from Athens, Sounion is located at the southern end of the Apollo coast, right on the tip of the Cape. Taking approximately 1,5hrs to reach Cape Sounion, this tour can give you the chance to walk through the ancient ruins of the Temple of Poseidon with the immense blue of the Aegean Sea as a background, in a short distance from the city center of Athens.

And if you are looking for one of the best places in Greece to enjoy the sunset, Cape Sounio is the place where you can enjoy the summer breeze and capture some of the greatest pictures anyone could ever imagine.
