Reisroute
Athene Riviera is het kustgebied in de zuidelijke buitenwijken van Athene, Griekenland, van Piraeus tot Sounio.
Kaap Sounion is een van de meest indrukwekkende locaties aan de kust die u niet mag missen tijdens uw vakantie in Athene, aangezien het slechts ongeveer 70 minuten met de auto van de stad ligt. Het prachtige rotsachtige voorgebergte dat uit de Egeïsche Zee oprijst, is de plaats waar de tempel van Poseidon, een van de belangrijkste archeologische vindplaatsen in Griekenland, te vinden is.
Deze plek was emotioneel belangrijk voor de Atheners, aangezien dit het laatste punt van hun land was dat de oude Atheense zeevaarders en krijgers konden zien als ze de Egeïsche Zee in zeilden en rond de Middellandse Zee. zien wanneer ze terugkwamen van de reis of oorlog. Daarom besloten de Atheners om daar een tempel te bouwen, opgedragen aan Poseidon, de god van de zee, om ze mooie zeereizen te bezorgen zodat ze veilig thuis zouden komen.

Really enjoyed this tour. Too bad we had an overcast day … but you get what you get. Still it was amazing to see and the views of the ocean en route were great. Kudos to our guide who had a bilingual group ( Fr/en). And well done to our driver on those hairpin turns and dealing with the traffic. . Hotel pick up and drop off great. Worth the trip just for the experience!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour despite the overcast weather. Sounion's beauty shines in every condition, and we’re glad the ocean views and overall experience still made the day memorable. We truly appreciate your kind words about our guide and driver—managing a bilingual group and those famous hairpin turns is no small feat, and they’ll be so happy to hear your compliments.

We hope to welcome you back on a sunnier day for even more unforgettable views! MTM Customer Support
They forgot to pick us up. Very irresponsible and unprofessional. We waited at the designated area in the hot sun for over an hour. Ruined the evening.
The drive to the cape return is 3 hours. Was good to see the sunset on a clear day and on the last day of 2024. The bus picks up people at designated spots and there are several stops on the way back. The guide was informative and would point out stuff to us which wasn't part of the tour. Great that it wasn't a very long tour.
You should bring enough time for the Temple of Poseidon as it is quite a large complex. The temple itself is perched high above the Mediterranean with a great all-round view. You can easily imagine how the ancient Greeks used to live here.Unfortunately, this impressive complex is already closed at sunset and you are promptly asked to leave by the staff. Below the bay there are some good seafood restaurants. The journey is also spectacular because you are mostly on the coast.
We really enjoyed the timing of the sunset tour. The ruins are definitely highlighted with the sunset as a dramatic backdrop.
Well worth the long drive. The bus was comfortable and the views along the coast were amazing. Everyone was very nice and accommodating.
The temple was great and the drive there was lovely. The guide (Niki?) was okay but not overly engaging. It sounded like she was reading from a script. The view was spectacular, but unfortunately we went on an evening with lots of clouds. It would be breathtaking on a clear evening.
Really fun experience! The tour guide and driver were great. Going in the evening (530pm tour) is the way to go for the full sunset timeframe.
