What To Expect
Temple of Poseidon
Arriving at the Cape Sounion, you will visit the 5th century B.C. Temple of Poseidon with its magnificent panoramic view of the Aegean Sea (on a clear day you can see several islands). Cape Sounion has long played an important part in Greek mythology and history, and the first recorded mention of it occurs in the Odyssey, as the last safe landing before Poseidon scattered the returning Greek navy. As god of the sea, Poseidon was very important for ancient Greeks, and the scale of the Temple at Cape Sounion reflects that.
After visiting the Temple, filled from the beauty, the history and the culture of this site you are set to admire one of the most amazing sunsets you could ever imagine. Similarly, when the sun begins to slowly touch the sea it is the perfect moment for a glass of wine, before having your dinner in a scenic, nearby seafront tavern.
Absorb the far-reaching views over the Aegean and take unique photos. On your way back, enjoy a delicious waffle with ice cream that only locals know.

Reviews
I really enjoyed my conversation with Ioannis. He is very knowledgable with not only ancient history but also recent history since Greek independence.
I didn’t expect to have such an exciting and unforgettable experience even for a December day in Athens :) So to summarize, highly recommended!
Dinner was excellent, and I highly suggest stopping to get ice cream right next door. All around excellent experience! So glad we signed up!
