It was a really magic experience. The guide was really funny and she explained both historical facts and curiosities about the places we visited but also about Athens. We stopped firstly at the oldest preserved theatre in the world and the guide gave us some time to explore the area and took some pictures. Then we went to Capo Sunion where there's Poseidon's Temple. That was such a magical place, overlooking the sea. We spent here an hour and then with the bus they took us back to Syntagma. The place was really beautiful and suggestive. I think that was totally worthy, perhaps the best thing I saw during my trip to Athens.

I would expect to stay fifteen minutes more, because after our departure so 15 minutes later, the temple shone light.... And it would be a must The Sunset but not your fault 😉 Sorry the menu was not reflecting my comment
Your tour will begin at the Halandri Metro station in Athens. You will meet your tour guide aboard the air-conditioned tour bus. You will reach the cape just in time to catch the enchanting sunset. Your guide will tell you several intriguing facts and myths about Cape Sounion. It’s interesting to note that Sounion is also mentioned in Homer’s legendary epic, The Odyssey.
The Temple of Poseidon was a popular destination for famous poets and writers from across the world. The English poet Lord Byron is said to have left his signature on the temple marble nearly two centuries ago. Once you are done exploring the temple, spend a few tranquil moments on the coast, watching the sun disappear below the horizon. On your way back, you can visit the Athens Riviera and walk along the promenade. Several of the charming waterfront cafes are certainly worth a visit.
