Athens Riviera Activities and Temple of Poseidon Private Tour

Summary

Start your private tour with a pickup from your Athens hotel, and travel southward in your air-conditioned minivan toward the Attica Riviera. Relish the scenery as you follow the coastal road through this picturesque Riviera. The road hugs the shoreline so you get wonderful views over the Saronic Gulf and the rugged cliffs, beaches and villages along the way. After about 60 minutes, arrive in Cape Sounion, the southernmost tip of Attica overlooking the Aegean Sea. Perched high on a promontory is the dazzling Temple of Poseidon, built by the ancient Greeks in 44 BC in honor of the god of the sea. Climb the hill to the temple, whose shining white pillars are framed by spectacular views of the Aegean and coast. The temple had a tremendous importance as a place of worship and vantage point for the Greeks keen to control the shipping lanes to Athens. As you explore, imagine the devotees who once prayed and made sacrifices here, and listen spellbound to the legends that surround the temple. Then, stand back and wallow in the stupendous views that stretch across the Aegean — you can see the Peloponnese on clear days!   Complementary service of water sport activities at Vouliagmeni water sports center: Use of Snorkeling gear or Tubes or SUP You may choose the complementary water sport activity at the beginning or end of the experience included in the price HIGHLIGHTS • Athens Riviera • Temple of Poseidon • Water Sport Activities - snorkeling,SUP,tubes
