The tour begins with a drive along the coastline known as the Athenian Riviera and the southern suburbs. Passing through some of the uptown suburbs of Athens (Glyfada, Voula, Vouliagmeni, Varkiza) and making a first stop at the Vouliagmeni Lake, a mineral – therapeutic – natural lake.

We will continue our drive along with more isolated but charismatic areas with a breathtaking view of the Saronic Gulf bringing us to be the archaeological site of Cape Sounio, the southeastern edge of the Attica peninsula.

Just as you enter the site you will see the outstanding Temple of Poseidon, the ancient Greek god of the sea, surrounded by the remains of the fornication, the gateway porticos, and houses. Close by you will also see the remains of the temple Athena Souniada.

Apart from the unique location and the archaeological interest, Cape Sounio is also known for its breathtaking sunset and view of the Greek Islands. It is considered as one of the most romantic places in Greece. The place Lord Byron wrote about and treasured. Next on the menu, lunch.
