Essential Athens, Cape Sounion, Temple Of Poseidon & Great Lunch
Why this tour: We avoid the crowds, it is private & personalized, flexible and it includes real Greek food with no "fixed menu". A full-day tour just for you and your partner or group- to all of the Athens essentials sites & the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion. Depending on your energy levels (and pace) we will add a unique "Greeks-only-know" location. We explore as much as we can in the available time (a full day of 8-9 hours) but depending on your pace! Explore the city: The Acropolis site & museum, Hadrian's Arch & the Temple of Zeus, Panathinaic/Olympic Stadium. Watch the changing of the guards. Enjoy this flexible tour plus a great lunch which -for some- is the highlight of the day; a treat from your tour leader. It will allow you to blend in with the locals! Then, take a ride along the Athens Riviera with magnificent Mediterranean & Aegean Sea views to visit & explore one of the most impressive and picturesque ancient sites in Greece, the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion.
