Itinerary
Set out to a private sunset day trip to Cape Sounion. Our trip starts with a wonderful drive along the Athens Rivera. During this relaxing ride you’ll enjoy splendid views of the Saronic Gulf while passing through some of Athens’ most beautiful suburbs, including Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza. Arriving at the Cape Sounion, you will visit the 5th century B.C. Temple of Poseidon with its magnificent panoramic view of the Aegean Sea (on a clear day you can see several islands). Cape Sounion has long played an important part in Greek mythology and history, and the first recorded mention of it occurs in the Odyssey, as the last safe landing before Poseidon scattered the returning Greek navy. As god of the sea, Poseidon was very important for ancient Greeks, and the scale of the Temple at Cape Sounion reflects that. After visiting the Temple, filled from the beauty, the history and the culture of this site you are set to admire one of the most amazing sunsets you could ever imagine. Similarly, when the sun begins to slowly touch the sea it is the perfect moment for a glass of wine, before having your dinner in a scenic, nearby seafront tavern. Absorb the far-reaching views over the Aegean and take unique photos. On your way back, enjoy a delicious waffle with ice cream that only locals know.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Our driver was the best. Dimitris was very knowledgeable, easy to keep a conversation with, and kept us safe throughout the whole trip. We enjoyed our dinner overlooking the water. Our Tour of the Poseidon Temple given by Maria was great. She was very detailed and gave us room to ask questions. Overall, it was a great experience and would highly recommend.
We had a great time on this outing to see the sunset at Cape Sounio and Poseidon’s Temple. The view was spectacular and very special. Harry and George made the ride very fun and gave us a lot of great information. We also enjoyed a lovely dinner by the sea. I would highly recommend. My only advice would be to get your entrance tickets to the temple in advance.

We were a group of four. The drive to Sounion was comfortable in a large Mercedes SUV. Dinner spot was across a little bay from the Temple of Poseidon with a beautiful view! We got to the main site with an hour to spare before sunset which was good because there was quite a line to get tickets. Recommendation - get tickets online in advance at tickets.hh.gr. The views were spectacular and the weather perfect! Driver parked in a great spot so we got out of there w/o delay, but the ride home was busy because of traffic on Sunday nights in the summer! Definitely worth the trip

We had a lovely evening as the finale of our first trip to Greece. The company always quickly responded to communication to set up our dinner reservation. Our guide, Jason, was prompt to pick us up, very professional and friendly. It was lovely to talk to him and learn more about living in Greece. It was neat to have the perspective of that part of the country, beautiful driving down the shoreline- so different from Athens. The lighting on the temple was amazing around the sunset. Highly recommend!

We had a truly magical experience at Sunion, beautiful weather, and a great sunset with 360 degree views. We started with the drive to the coast, and then headed south down the coastal roads with and a stop to see the amazing Lake Vouliagmeni. It's a moderate drive but our driver Harry kept us entertained the whole way discussing sports, politics and life in Greece. The dinner stop was literally steps from the water and had a great traditional Greek meal. Then we arrived with perfect timing to see the sunset. Another quick stop to get gelato, and back to our apartment. We even got to see the changing of the guard as the stars aligned and the timing, like the entire trip, was perfect,

If you’re looking for an evening you’ll never forget, book this private dinner and sunset tour — and pray you get Harry as your guide! Harry was an absolute gem from start to finish. Knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely fun to spend an evening with, he has a gift for making you feel like you’re exploring with an old friend rather than a tour guide. He brought the history and beauty of the area to life in a way that made the whole experience richer. The dinner was wonderful — great food, great atmosphere, and the kind of meal that slows you down in the best possible way. And the sunset? Simply breathtaking. One of those moments where you just stop talking and take it all in. But what really made us smile was what came after — Harry took us out for ice cream to cap off the night. It was such a fun, unexpected touch that perfectly summed up the spirit of the whole evening. This was one of the most memorable experiences of our entire trip, and Harry is a huge reason why. Don’t miss it!

We had an amazing experience with Crispy Local, and Harry was an exceptional tour guide for our trip to the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounio in Greece. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared the history and culture in such an engaging and enjoyable way. Harry was personable, talkative, and interacted so well with everyone in the group, making the experience feel relaxed and welcoming. He made us feel comfortable from the start, made sure we had water throughout the trip, and we always felt safe and well taken care of. After visiting the Temple of Poseidon, we enjoyed a beautiful dinner by the water, which made the entire evening even more memorable. You can truly tell Harry enjoys what he does and cares about giving his guests a great experience. We would absolutely recommend Crispy Local and especially Harry to anyone visiting Greece!

We had a great driver, Dimitris, who commented on the sights we were seeing on the way to the Temple of Poseidon. We stopped for dinner before sunset and had fresh grilled fish, filleted table side. Admission to the Temple was not included in the price of the tour and was 20€. Beautiful views from the top.
