Take your own postcard-perfect snaps of Cape Sounion's Temple of Poseidon on a scenic afternoon trip from Athens. Cape Sounion is only 45 miles (70 kilometers) from Athens, making it the perfect lazy afternoon destination.

Informative, and easy way to see the temple. Really lovely experience with a great guide. Thank you, Rose!

The drive down the coast was spectacular and the time spent at the temple made for some great photos.

I love archeological ruins. These were fine but not worth the hour long trip each way. I could have better used the time to see more things in Athens that would be just as interesting, if not more. The tour guide was very difficult to understand as well. I think if you do this trip you should do the sunset one. Or only do this if you have lots of time in Athens. The view of the coast is pretty.

Our tour guide, Jordan, was very helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. The sanctuary is so beautiful to see in the afternoon. Wish we could’ve stayed a bit longer. Two thumbs up and five stars. Would definitely recommend and would go again!

The tour guide was fun and knowledgeable, the driver was excellent. (Drivers in Greece can be scary but this guy was great!)
It was about 90 minute drive in each direction and about 1 hour at the Temple of Poseidon, which for us was plenty of time

It was a great view of the sea and the temple. We also got great views of the coastline and the seaside villages along the way. Trouble is there were no photo stops along the way, just there and back.

The coach was quite comfortable and our guide was very knowledgeable. Good tour. As a bonus, we saw a tortoise and a mama partridge with her babies.

As a review I wanted to break down each element to help others:
1. Collection: Lots of choices on the website and we selected a local collection point. Chats arrived on time as stated and was a very easy process.
2. Coach & Trip: It is a long trip (hour and a half) but the coach was very comfortable and clean. The ride was very smooth. I would say sit on the right side of the coach on the way out of Athens as you get to see more of the scenery. Just be warned on the way back you could be stuck in traffic.
3. Tour Guide: Our guide was excellent. She explained different landmarks on both legs of the journey as well as historical information. At the temple she talked us through the location before leaving us to do our own thing. She was knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour.
4. The Temple: Fantastic and beautiful. Just be warned you will be there between 30-45 minutes before heading back. Still this was plenty of time.
5. Drop Off: If you want to be dropped off in central Athens they are happy to do this and they are very accommodating.
Overall: Absolutely fantastic experience and great guide.
