Embark on a scenic journey along the captivating coastal road, passing the golden beaches of Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza, along with numerous scenic coves. Enjoy the sweeping views of the glistening Saronic Gulf as you unwind and let your guide bring ancient myths to life, recounting the legendary tales of Theseus, Ariadne, and the Minotaur.

Your destination is the breathtaking Cape Sounion, home to the iconic Temple of Poseidon, a sanctuary revered since ancient times. First mentioned in Homer’s Odyssey, Sounion holds the story of Menelaus, who paused here on his journey from Troy to honor his fallen helmsman, Phrontes Onetorides.

Explore this magnificent monument, dating back to 444 BC, dedicated to Poseidon, the mighty God of the Sea. The marble temple, perched atop adramatic cliffs, has long served as a beacon for sailors navigating the Aegean.

As you wander the site, marvel at the temple’s enduring beauty and soak in panoramic views of the Aegean Sea, a sight as mesmerizing today as it was in ancient times.

This journey to Cape Sounion is a harmonious blend of mythology, history, and natural splendour, offering an unforgettable coastal adventure.
