Sailbliss Sailing & Temple Tour in Alimos, Greece

Set along the sun-drenched Athenian Riviera in Attica, Greece, Sailbliss offers a maritime experience that blends deep history with serene coastal luxury. Launching from Alimos, a vibrant port town just south of Athens, this journey aboard a sleek sailboat opens onto the iconic Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion. The temple’s towering Doric columns, standing since 440 BC, rise dramatically from rugged cliffs overlooking the endless blue of the Aegean Sea. The juxtaposition of ancient stone and open water delivers a rare chance to walk through history while feeling the sea breeze on your face.

Sailbliss crafts this experience for travelers who seek more than a day trip—they invite you on a voyage punctuated by hidden swimming coves accessible only by boat and a curated tasting of premium Greek wines. Sampling local varieties as the coastline slips by is an immersive way to connect with the region’s cultural richness. The Mediterranean flavors served aboard emphasize fresh, authentic ingredients—think olives, cheeses, and seasonal seafood prepared to complement the sea’s natural rhythm.

What sets Sailbliss apart is their intimate approach to sailing combined with cultural storytelling. The crew is well-versed in the history of Attica and the rituals honoring Poseidon, the god of the sea, adding color and context to the trip. The Athenian Riviera itself boasts a unique geological makeup of limestone cliffs and crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming and snorkeling.

This trip offers unparalleled sunset views—once the sun dips below the horizon, the temple and the sea glow in a warm, golden light, providing a memorable close to this dynamic excursion. For those interested in history, wine, or simply a unique way to experience the Greek coastline, Sailbliss stands out as a top-tier adventure combining outdoor activity with cultural depth near Athens.
