Overview

One of the most iconic sights in mainland Greece, Cape Sounion is a must for photographers, Instagrammers, and history buffs.
The Temple of Poseidon is perched on the edge of a cliff, located 70 meters above the sea. Built in the 5th century BC, the temple is in the typical Greek hexastyle - featuring six doric columns on the front portico. 16 out of the original 38 columns are still standing today, and they were 20 feet tall.
During our way back from Sounio, we will stop at the Lake of Vouliagmeni, another stop worth while visiting. Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion was built in 44 B.C., and many of its original Doric columns are still standing.
This tour allows you to skip the hassle of finding your own way to Sounion so you can relax and enjoy a pre-planned activity and a delicious meal in a traditional restaurant with splendid sea view.
