Sounio Sunset Serenity: Private Journey To The Temple Of Poseidon

As we will be driving to the south of Attica, we will pass by Elliniko, where the old international airport of Athens was located until 2000 and now Europe’s greatest urban regeneration project is taking place to transform the area, Glyfada which marks the entrance in the luxury south suburbs of Athens where the locals go to shop and play by the sea, Vouliagmani & Voula where palm trees & fountains line our way to Sounio and the bustling little resort of Varkiza, where an outstanding seascape unfolds with impressive coves below the coastal road. Throughout the journey, your driver will share tales from antiquity and Greek mythology connected with the archaeological site whenever it’s safe to do so, ensuring both your enjoyment and safety on the road.

Admire the rare geological formation in the south suburbs of Athens. A small brackish-water lake fed by underground currents seeping through the mass of Mount Hymettus. Because of its comfortable water temperature, ranging from 22 to 29 °Celsius, the lake functions as a year-round spa.

We ensure an early arrival at Sounio, allowing ample time for you to leisurely explore the site and secure the perfect vantage point for the sunset. In the bustling summer months, particularly during full moons, the area may attract a crowd. However, you can also relax and refresh yourself at the café situated just outside the site. Additionally, complimentary restroom facilities are available for your convenience.

After witnessing the sunset, immerse yourself in a quintessential Athenian experience with a seaside dinner, embracing the invigorating sea breeze and tantalizing your senses. Indulge in a delectable selection of seafood paired with ouzo or tsipouro. Enjoy the freedom to choose your meal, as there is no fixed menu prearranged, allowing for flexibility.
