Reiseverlauf
Auf Ihrem Weg zum Tempel von Poseidon haben Sie die Möglichkeit, die südlichen Vororte von Athen wie Old Faliron, Alimos und Glyfada zu absorbieren. Es ist eine unbestreitbare Tatsache, dass diese Gebiete als die am besten ausgestatteten in Attika gelten. Darüber hinaus hat der Reisende die Möglichkeit, die Küste Attikas voller privater und öffentlicher Marines, Geschäfte und Cafés zu beobachten.
Ein kurzer Stopp für Bilder wird am Vouliagmeni See gemacht. Die Lagune entstand vor etwa 2.000 Jahren. Es war einmal eine große Höhle, die nach einem Erdbeben zusammenbrach. Der Umriss des eingestürzten Höhlendaches ist aus der Ferne deutlich zu erkennen. Der See hat einzigartige Umweltbedingungen: Er wird über einen unterirdischen Kanal, der sich durch ein Netzwerk überfluteter Höhlen erstreckt, mit warmem Meerwasser (28-35 ° Celsius) versorgt, sodass seine Temperatur nie unter 18 ° C fällt (normalerweise zwischen 21 und 24 ° C). Während eine Süßwasserquelle ihren Salzgehalt auf Brackwerte (14,5-18 psu) reduziert. Aufgrund seiner konstanten Warmwassertemperatur und seines hohen Schwefelwasserstoffgehalts dient der See seit Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts als Kurort.
Varkiza ist ein malerisches Dorf am Meer mitten auf dem Weg nach Cape Sounion. Die Gegend ist aufgrund ihrer Strände, Geschäfte und Clubs bei Athenern für kurze Ausflüge sehr beliebt.
Der Tempel des Poseidon wurde auf dem Hügel genau am Treffpunkt des Saronischen Meeres mit der Ägäis errichtet. Der Tempel war Gott Poseidon, dem Herrn des Meeres, gewidmet und dort boten alle Seeleute ein letztes Opfer an, um Gott Poseidon zu besänftigen, bevor sie die Sicherheit des Saronischen Golfs verließen. Nach der griechischen Mythologie war das Kap Sounion der Punkt, von dem aus sich der griechische König Aegeus von der Klippe in den Tod stürzte, weil er fälschlicherweise glaubte, sein Sohn sei gestorben. Diese alte tragische Geschichte handelt von einem Thema, das bis heute im modernen Geschichtenerzählen verwendet wird.
Auf dem Rückweg nach Athen genießt der Besucher die traditionelle griechische Küche in einer lokalen Taverne mit Blick auf das Meer.

Timing the crowd is key. Jimmy adjusted our trip to put us there ahead of the “sunset” bus tours, and it made an enormous difference. We had no line going in and passed a huge line going out.

Basically just a car service to Cape Sounion. I booked for 4pm which I guess was too early? So we had to stop for dinner at 5 on the way not on the way back, as advertised. The sunset at the Temple of Poseidon was at 8:24 pm. So we didn’t need to get there until 7:30. Not sure why we weren’t told that. The dinner spot was fine. Great people and the food was good, but not a place I would have chosen on my own. There were other seemingly more interesting places in the area. Our driver was nice, but quiet. We didn’t expect a tour guide, but some of the other reviews mention drivers who were talkative and informative. Overall definitely worth going to Cape Sounion and the temple of Poseidon. That said, this was just hiring a driver to get there. Not sure we needed to spend 500 to do that and then an addition 300+ for dinner at 5pm.
Hello Matt, We would once again like to thank you for choosing H.P. Tours – Hellenic Private Tours for your private tour, and for taking the time to share your feedback with us and with fellow travelers. Regarding your comments, we acknowledge that the tour starting time of 16:00 was not ideal for catching the sunset on that particular date. In hindsight, a later departure time should have been recommended by our team to ensure a better overall experience. We regret this oversight. Given the original timing, having dinner before reaching the Temple became necessary to stay as true as possible to the itinerary and to ensure you could still experience the sunset there. While we understand your criticism, we would like to note that the decision regarding the starting time was made by you. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the restaurant’s service and the food provided. Delivering authentic cuisine and warm, genuine hospitality is always our goal when suggesting dining options. That said, we’d like to emphasize that our restaurant recommendations are always optional. If you had preferred another dining option, this could have been discussed directly with your driver. Regarding your experience with the driver, we will follow up on this internally to better understand his perspective and assess the situation more thoroughly. While we appreciate that you described him as “nice,” we also want to understand more deeply why you felt the overall experience lacked the depth you expected. We take all guest feedback seriously, and we can guarantee your review will help us improve further. Our goal is to consistently deliver the high-quality service that has defined H.P. Tours over the years, and we thank you for contributing to that effort. Warm regards, Frank Kotsiopoulos Managing Director H.P. Tours

Exceptional experience. We could not have asked for more from the tour - our guide and driver Panos was simple excellent.

A relaxing and beautiful drive along to coast to a few surprise stops and then the Temple of Poseidon. We never got to dinner because I was feeling unwell, but our wonderful driver Tragadis Theofilos, Theo, stopped for the most amazing ice cream on the way back. Theo was a pleasant host and driver, taught us about the history of area and described the beautify of the country beyond Athens...it made us want to come back and explore more of Greece. A wonderful trip. Thank you Theo!
