Comfortable bus. No-one mentioned wifi on board . Was it available, I wonder? We had to get back at 19:40. I think staying another 10 minutes would have made the sunset complete. Why not give us an extra 10 minutes ? No reason really. The commentaries were minimal. So much so that few even thought of giving the guide a tip.... Anyway, a lovely site, and a lovely evening. Finally, it would have been right to mention that the excursion did not inclde the entrance ticket to the site. It is quite cheap anyway, but I was not expecting to have to queue again. Best wishes !

Again, this was overpriced as most of the other tours in Athens, and the experience underwhelming and you spend ~3hrs on the bus in total. It's not really a human guided tour, you listen to it on a portable device on the1.5hr bus trip to the Cape Sounion. My audio device didn't work properly and kept going on and off, therefore I didn't get to enjoy the history. The AC on the outward journey was also not cold at all so it was a sweaty ride in 35c weather! We had just over 1.5hrs at Cape Sounion & Temple of Poisdedon which was more than enough time. The sunset view was breathtaking though!

The drive to the city is very nice going right by the coast and the bus was comfortable and clean. We did not see much of the city but our destination was Temple of Posidon which was well worth the price and effort. Sunset tour was just right to catch the setting sun in between the pillars of the ancient ruins. I wish I had more time to spend at the site.

Your Experience

The tour will start from Athens and will take you along the south coast towards the Athens Riviera. You will travel in a premium air-conditioned bus, as you take in the beautiful scenery on the journey. An English speaking guide and escort will accompany your group, giving you a great deal of insight into the area. You will soon reach the Sounion, and be dazzled by the spectacular landscape around you. The Sounion is one of the prominent areas mentioned in Homer’s epic Odyssey. In ancient Greece, the area was a sacred ground dedicated to Athena and Poseidon.

You can see the marvelous Temple of Poseidon perched on the edge of a cliff, 70 meters above water level. Upgrade your tickets to include entry to this attraction.

Gaze across the Aegean Sea from the cliff, where legend says King Aegeus threw himself off. Your guide will talk about the story behind Aegeus throwing himself off the cliff, while also talking about the significance of the area and its history. You can catch a breathtaking sunset over the sea, which is perfect for some memorable photos.
