The tale is told in Greek mythology that Aegeus told his son Theseus that if he defeated the Minotaur, he should return to Athens with ships bearing white sails.

This is well worth the trip from Athens as the sunset is spectacular. Our guide Maria was great at making sure we knew where we were passing through and when the best time to see the sunset was. The audio guide on the bus was very informative and made the journey more interesting! Definitely recommend

It was an amazing experience to visit Cape Sounion and specially the Temple of Poseidon at sunset! The guide Maria was very informative and overall it was a very good service from Sights of Athens! The 2 day pass that comes with some packages was very helpful too as we used it to go round the city and visit the Archaeological Museum and other sites. Thank you 🙂

The temple is absolutely amazing at sunset! Very peaceful and magical setting. My daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

The pre-recorded commentary on the bus on the way there was very dry and hard to hear. However, the tour guide’s telling of some myths was very entertaining on the way back to Athens. She was easy to understand and explained eveything very well.

The tour guide Maria was great and the central location pick-up was very convenient. The bus however needs to have its AC system serviced. It was a very hot ride.
