Athens&Cape Sounion full day tour: The Golden Age of Athens

Great way of experiencing some history. It’s pretty impressive to think that people have been coming here for thousands of years and that some of the visible structures have been there for this long as well. The place is not crowded at all, so it’s much more fun to visit than some of the more obvious destinations. Take a drive from Athens for the day and spend the day in Sounion. Once you’ve done the archeological site, there are great beaches and taverns- and even the drive along the coastline is a great experience in itself.

We spent quality time at the Acropolis and other ancient sites without rushing. Our guide explained mythology and historical events so well that it felt like time travel.

Both places have their own incredible energy and charter that's hard to put into words, but having a bit context and history behind what you're looking at makes it hit differently. We went on a pretty warm day, and I won't lie, the heat was real but the schedule was thoughtfully planned with breaks at the right moments, so it never felt overwhelming.

After a day of amazing food and discussion, are you standing at the Temple of Poseidon, watching the sun set over the Aegean? I came to seethat kind of Greece. We strolled down to the temple of poseidon cafe for refreshmentsand a bite after touring the temple. Take a seat, chatted, observed the waves.

The journey to Cape Sounion was lovely, and Athens was fascinating without being hurried. The views at the end of the day made the Temple of Poseidon the high point for all of us.

I must admit that it essentially fulfilled our expectations. We anticipated a long day with lots of driving, lots of sightseeing, and a little chaos trying to keep everyone together before making our reservation. However, we had a relaxed, well organized day that delighted people of all ages.

Odysseas was perfect throughout, an easy-going person, always on time and definitely master of Athens’s geography. It wasn’t a scripted tour but more like being taken around by a local who takes delight in sharing his area. The cost was reasonable for a private arrangement. Not having to worry about taxis or public transport made the day very relaxing and we certainly felt we got what we paid for, especially with all the local knowledge Odysseas shared with us during the tour.

I went on this Athens and Cape Sounion full day tour as a solo traveler and had a great time. Fair price for a whole day covering both Athens and Cape Sounion, considering transport and guidance. The weather was on our side, too clear sky, comfortable temperature, perfect for walking around, contemplating views.

Such a great introduction to Greece! We were lucky enough to have Odysseas as our guide he gave us a lot of information on...well, everything, from mythology to archaeology. It was quite busy day since it was Thursday but we explore everything included in this tour. Again, big thanks to Odysseas.

Yes, it's a full DA commitment, but you see so much and the pace is managed so well. If you want the Parthenon and one of the best sunsets in Greer without having worry about anything, book this tour.
