Join our guided half day tour to Cape Sounion and experience a breathtaking sunset at the unique temple of Poseidon, the God of the Seas in ancient times.
Our tour starts with a wonderful drive along the Athens Rivera. During this relaxing ride with your luxury air conditioned bus you’ll enjoy splendid views of the Saronic Gulf while passing through some of Athens’ most beautiful suburbs, including Hellinikon Olympic complex, 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 at least seven islands). One of its columns has a graffiti left by none other than lord Byron in the early 1800s. 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 we will wait to admire one of the most amazing sunsets you could ever imagine. And when the sun begins to slowly touch the sea it is the perfect moment for a glass of wine, before returning back to your hotel.

Amazing sunset at the Temple of Poseiden!
An amazing trip to Cape Sounion and The Temple of Poseiden. Key Tours wasn't able to pick us up at our hotel but they did pick us up at one roughly 10 minutes walk away. Our tour guide spoke perfect English and gave a brief history of the Temple, Cape Sounion and the surrounding area(s). Our bus was big and only half full so our ride to the Temple was very comfortable.
Once we arrived at the Temple we had plenty of time to take pictures and view the sunset. Fortunately we had perfect weather so the Temple and the sunset were both beautiful. Overall a very scenic, educational, and awesome trip. If you are visiting Athens and have the time you should book this trip!
Amazing Experience
Amazing
This had to have been the most beautiful place that I have ever seen. Our tour guide, was absolutely amazing. She gave us the most relevant facts and some interesting mythological stories but she didn't make it too long. We were given a lot of free time to really look around the site. I would definitely recommend this to anyone!
Muy buena atención por parte del guía, Dimitris, y Lukas, el conductor del autobús. Explicaciones geniales. Excursión magnífica para contemplar el mar Egeo y conocer parte de la historia de Grecia. Muy recomendable.
A wonderful half day trip!
Great tour of Cape Sounion at sunset, well worth doing.
Wonderful Experience - Gorgeous Location
The Sunset at Cape Sounion Half Day Tour was the last of my scheduled tours and a great way to end a fantastic time in Greece. The bus ride to Cape Sounion through the Athenian Riviera was relaxing and beautiful. Our Key Tours guide, Agatha, was knowledgeable and a very lovely person. We had plenty of time to wander around until sunset. A nice and classy “extra” to this tour was the Key Tours hosted wine area for the people on the tour. I did have a mix up on the departure time and missed my original tour date. Key Tours was quick to offer a solution for me to go on this tour the next evening and that made me a happy customer. Cape Sounion at sunset is a must on your Athens itinerary!
