Explore the Athenian Riviera, from swanky Flisvos Marina to Lake Vouliagmeni and the Temple of Poseidon, on a driving tour

This private driving tour in Athens will take you along the beautiful shores of the Athenian Riviera, a stunning coastline that extends from Athens to Cape Sounion, covering a distance of approximately 30 miles. The route is filled with hidden gems, ranging from upscale city suburbs to secluded lagoons, and culminating in the iconic Temple of Poseidon, one of the most famous ancient Greek monuments.

Your private driver will escort you to Cape Sounion, where you will have the opportunity to marvel at the Temple of Poseidon. This remarkable archaeological site from the 5th century overlooks the Saronic Gulf and its islands, commanding the southernmost point of Attica. Here, legends abound, such as the tale of King Menelaus briefly stopping at Sounio on his return from Troy, or the tragic story of King Aegeus who met his demise in the Aegean Sea, giving the sea its name. The temple, constructed with local marble, honors the God of the sea and stands as a tribute to safeguard the profits from the nearby Lavrio mines. Please note that a certified guide is not included in the visit to the Temple.

The tour will be scheduled at the optimal time to coincide with sunset, allowing for a delightful dinner at a traditional tavern renowned for its delectable fish and seafood. A reservation will be made in your name for the meal, which is not included in the tour package.
