Enjoy a private 4-hour excursion to the southernmost point of Athens and visit the 5th-century Temple of Poseidon. On this tour, you’ll pass beautiful suburbs such as Glyfada, Voula, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza, on the Athenian Riviera. The drive will take you along 70 kilometers of coastline. Stop at Vouliagmeni Lake to enjoy the views. The healing properties of the lake water have been known since ancient times, and the lake is the only natural spa in Athens. After an hour’s drive, you’ll arrive at Cape Sounio, home to the Temple of Poseidon, which was part of the Pericles building program. Take in views of the Saronic Gulf at a local café or restaurant.
