What you can expect? Our journey kicks off early in the evening so you can catch the magnificent coloring of the sky, while you soak up the scenic views of the Athens Riviera on our way to Cape Sounio. You will also get to gaze over the Doric-column Temple of Poseidon settled on the top of a craggy coast hill, overlooking the blue hues of the Saronic Gulf and the Aegean Sea; follow the clues of Lord Byron and meander around the same place where King Aegeus led the days of his life.

During the summer months, stop en route to the beach just below the Temple of Poseidon and give in to an hour of relaxation in the refreshing waters of the Aegean Sea. Enjoy the sun and the sea, while having some cool refreshments that will energize you enough to ascend to the top of the hill of Poseidon, the southernmost point of Attica.

In winter, since the temperatures do not allow a dip into the waters of Sounio, you will have the chance to pay an hour-long visit to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center(SNFCC), a newly-built complex located at the grounds of Phalero. An example of modern architecture, the SNFCC combines its minimalist aesthetic with the natural landscape and exploits the temperate climate and seasonality of Attica. Wander around the award-winning Mediterranean Garden of the Cultural Center and head to the Pharos, where you can gaze at the expanse of the Aegean Sea. Have a look at the National Library of Greece or the impressive National Opera House, and relax with a cup of a hot beverage along with some snacks by the canal of the SNFCC.
