Description
Begin your journey with a pickup from your hotel in Athens or Piraeus. Head to Cape Sounion, located about an hour and a half outside the city. Enjoy stunning views of the Attic landscape as you travel.
Arrive at the Temple of Poseidon, perched on a gorge almost 72 meters above sea level. Learn about the temple’s history, including its connection to the legendary King Aegeas, who leapt from the cliffs into the sea, giving his name to the Aegean Sea.
Discover why this site has been a place of pilgrimage for romantic poets and philosophers, including the great German philosopher Heidegger and the English poet Lord Byron, whose signature can still be seen today.
For a full-day experience, continue your journey with a visit to the Acropolis, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Panathinaiko Kallimarmaro Stadium, the Parliament Change of Guard, the Ancient Market, the Roman Market, and Lycabettus Hill for a panoramic view over Athens.
