Itinerario
En su camino hacia el Templo de Poseidón, tendrá la posibilidad de absorber los suburbios del sur de Atenas, como Old Faliron, Alimos y Glyfada. Es un hecho innegable que estas áreas se consideran las más ampliadas de Attica. Además, el viajero tiene la oportunidad de observar la costa de Ática llena de infantes de marina, tiendas y cafés públicos y privados.
Se hará una breve parada para tomar fotos en el lago Vouliagmeni. La laguna se formó hace unos 2.000 años. Alguna vez fue una gran caverna que se derrumbó tras un terremoto. El contorno del techo derrumbado de la caverna se puede distinguir claramente desde la distancia. El lago tiene condiciones ambientales bastante singulares: se abastece de agua de mar tibia (28-35 ° C) a través de un canal subterráneo que se extiende a través de una red de cuevas inundadas, por lo que su temperatura nunca cae por debajo de 18 ° C (generalmente oscila entre 21-24 ° C) , mientras que un manantial de agua dulce reduce su salinidad a niveles salobres (14.5-18 psu). Debido a su temperatura constante de agua tibia y su rico contenido en sulfuro de hidrógeno, el lago funciona como un spa desde finales del siglo XIX.
Varkiza es un pintoresco pueblo costero en el medio del camino a Cabo Sunión. La zona es muy popular entre los atenienses para realizar excursiones cortas debido a sus playas, tiendas y clubes.
El Templo de Poseidón está construido en la cima de la colina, exactamente en el punto de encuentro del Mar Sarónico con el Mar Egeo. El templo estaba dedicado a Dios Poseidón, el señor del mar, y fue allí donde todos los marineros ofrecieron un último sacrificio para apaciguar a Dios Poseidón antes de abandonar la seguridad del Saronic Golf. Según la mitología griega, el cabo Sunión fue el punto desde el cual el rey griego Egeo se arrojó del acantilado a su muerte, ante la creencia errónea de que su hijo había muerto. Este antiguo cuento trágico involucra un tema que todavía se usa en la narración moderna de hoy.
En el camino de regreso a Atenas, el visitante disfrutará de la cocina tradicional griega en una taberna local con vista al mar.

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. Very professional, kind, knowledgeable, great with kids and with an excellent knowledge of music. He was also flexible to accommodate our requests and went out of his way to show us his lovely country.

The beautiful ride along the Athens coastline coupled with the sunset at Poseidon's temple was absolutely breathtaking. The tour was greatly enhanced by Jimmy our driver/guide who was a wealth of knowledge and a pleasure to be with. This tour is highly recommended.

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!
