Description

Leave Athens behind and follow a scenic coastal route through Attica, passing tranquil beaches and charming seaside spots. Along the way, your host shares captivating stories of ancient Greece. Your first stop is the Thermal Spa Lake Vouliagmeni, one of the most beautiful natural landmarks near Athens. The lake’s warm waters, rich in minerals, are known for their healing and rejuvenating properties. Enjoy the warm, rejuvenating waters while learning its history and local secrets. Continue your journey to the southern tip of Attica to visit the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion. Standing on a cliff overlooking the Aegean Sea, this ancient temple was dedicated to the god of the sea. Walk around the archaeological site, take photos, and enjoy some of the most breathtaking views in Greece. Next, visit the historic seaside town of Lavrio, once a thriving center of ancient silver mining and today a charming coastal hub with authentic local character. Stroll along the harbor promenade, explore landmarks like the old clock tower, the French Wharf, and elegant neoclassical buildings once used by the mining companies. Enjoy free time to relax at a café or seaside taverna, savoring fresh seafood and the town’s laid-back atmosphere. A short drive from the town takes you to the Archaeological Mineral Site of Lavrion, where the rich silver deposits once financed the rise of Athens as a powerful ancient city-state. Walk through the open-air remains of the ancient ore washeries, where miners separated silver from lead over 2,000 years ago. Before returning to Athens, make one final stop at the Ancient Theatre of Thorikos, considered the oldest known theatre in the world. Dating back to the 6th century BC, it offers a rare glimpse into early Greek drama and a stunning view over the surrounding landscape.
