Overview

The Temple of Poseidon sits out at Cape Sounion, an hour-plus from Athens through traffic that's tiring to drive yourself. Hand the driving to a guide instead, and enjoy a relaxed journey, followed by time to swim in the mineral-rich waters of Lake Vouliagmeni and an olive-oil tasting among old groves on the way. The clifftop temple caps the day.

We had a fantastic...

Michelle_V, Jul 2025

We had a fantastic experience on this tour! Theo was incredibly punctual—not only did he arrive exactly on time, but he also kept us perfectly on schedule at every stop without ever making us feel rushed. He was so welcoming and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating background information on the places we visited, along with some fun bits of Greek mythology. He answered all of our questions with patience and even offered to be available for any help or recommendations throughout the rest of our trip. The time at the lake was just right, but our favorite part by far was the olive oil tasting. The family who owns the mill was absolutely lovely and made us feel like part of their own family. They truly went above and beyond to make our visit special, serving us a generous spread of goodies and the most delicious homemade loukoumades we’ve ever had! We highly recommend this tour—it’s a great way to explore a lesser-known but incredibly special side of Athens.

Great hidden gem of a tour! Must do in Athens!

Our guide George picked us up just outside the cruise port, and we started our adventures! We forgot our towels, so George located a store we could purchase one at for us. The lake was a one of a kind experience with the fish nipping at you. Then, off to the oil mill. We were all impressed at the functioning oil mill! The owners treated us like family guests! They shared with us not only how the oil was made but also how important it was to their culture. Then we stopped at Poseidon's temple and enjoyed the history. George was a very good guide and made our tour memorable!
