Itinerary

Day 1

As you wind along the scenic coastal road, take in the stunning beaches of Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza, along with countless hidden coves, all offering breathtaking views of the Saronic Gulf.

Relax in comfort as your tour guide transports you back in time with the captivating myth of Theseus, Ariadne, and the Minotaur.

Your journey culminates at Cape Sounion, home to the crowning highlight of the tour: the Temple of Poseidon. This sacred site has held significance since ancient times and is famously mentioned in Homer’s Odyssey as the place where Menelaus paused on his return from Troy to honor his helmsman, Phrontes Onetorides.

Explore the majestic marble temple, built in 444 BC and dedicated to Poseidon, the revered God of the Sea. Perched atop towering cliffs overlooking the Aegean, this iconic landmark has guided sailors for centuries. Take a moment to soak in the awe-inspiring coastal views and connect with Greece’s timeless history.
