Greece is inextricably linked to the sun and the sea. Swimming in the crystal clear blue waters of the Aegean, before leaving Greece, is something that must be done. It will take about an hour drive to get from Athens, to the enchanting beach of Harakas, in Sounio. Our route there will be through the coastal road of Athens Vouliagmeni lake and the landscapes we are going to see are unique and the most representative of Greece. This is an organized beach, where, there is the possibility, one can just lie on the sand for free or choose an umbrella and sun bed. Surely, however, there is the possibility of drinking or eating something. We will stay there for at least 2 hours and enjoy the sun and the sea. Shortly before sunset, we will visit the temple of Poseidon in Sounio. We will see the impressive temple, the archeological site and of course, we will admire the sunset under the gaze of Poseidon. I think it is wonderful to fill images and emotions! For us that will be the goal!

Perfect choice for half-day trip out of Athens. Vissiting the Temple of Poseidon is a jaw dropping expirience, on account of the combination of impressive ancient/archaeological sites with the splendid beauty of the nature around it. Later, we went to a beach with 2 beach bars that played good music, and were served summer coctails along with frozen beer, whilst gazing upon the Aegean sea !! I really enjoyed this trip!
It was the highlight of our stay in Athens the Cape sunio sunset ! Anastasios was knowledgeable about everything and very helpful. We even went swimming in crystal deep blue water in aegean sea and relaxed under the sun!!
beautiful drive in Athenian riviera swimming in huge not crowed beach and at the end an amazing sunset at cape Sounio
