Sunset Private Boat Cruise to Cape Sounio and Temple of Poseidon
Discover the Temple of Poseidon like never before — by sea, at sunset. We'll pick you up from your accommodation in a luxury, air-conditioned van and drive along the scenic Athens Riviera, with a photo stop at the stunning Lake Vouliagmeni, a natural thermal lake surrounded by cliffs. Before boarding the boat, you may optionally visit the Temple of Poseidon by land to explore the archaeological site and admire the ancient columns up close. Then, hop aboard a modern, high-speed RIB boat for a breathtaking cruise along the Aegean coast. Swim or snorkel in crystal-clear bays, relax on deck, and take in the beauty of the coastline. As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, we’ll approach Cape Sounion from the sea. Watch the Temple glow on the cliff’s edge, bathed in golden light. With a refreshing drink in hand, enjoy the moment — a magical blend of myth, history, and natural beauty. An experience you’ll never forget.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Poseidon Temple
Discover the breathtaking Temple of Poseidon, majestically perched on the cliffs of Cape Sounion, about 70 km southeast of Athens. Built in the 5th century BC, this stunning Doric temple was dedicated to Poseidon, god of the sea, and served as a spiritual landmark for ancient sailors. From its hilltop location, enjoy panoramic views of the Aegean Sea – especially unforgettable at sunset, when the golden light bathes the marble ruins in warmth. The site is steeped in mythology, including the story of King Aegeus, whose tragic fate gave the Aegean Sea its name.
Limni Vouliagmenis
Lake Vouliagmeni is a hidden natural gem along the Athens Riviera — a thermal lake nestled at the foot of limestone cliffs, surrounded by lush vegetation. Its brackish, mineral-rich waters remain at a pleasant temperature year-round and are known for their healing properties. The lake’s unique geological setting and tranquil beauty make it a perfect stop for photos and relaxation before your coastal adventure begins.
