Athens to Cape Sounion & Lake Vouliagmeni: Half-Day Private Trip
Overview
A fully private trip along the Athens Riviera to Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon, in a Tesla Model 3 (1-4 guests) or a luxury van (5-8 guests), reserved just for your group. Your host is an Athens local with a lifelong passion for Greek history and plenty of stories to share along the coast.
Swim in, or simply admire, the turquoise water of Lake Vouliagmeni, explore the 5th-century BC temple on its clifftop above the Aegean and, if you like, stop for a seaside lunch in Legrena. The day is built around you.
"Our trip to the Temple of Poseidon was one of the highlights of our time in Greece" "The conversations were so enjoyable that I almost didn't want the drive to end." (a recent guest)
