Private Athens Riviera & Cape Sounion Tour with Seaside Taverna Lunch

This private tour trades museums for the coast. Your driver-guide takes you along the Athens Riviera to Cape Sounion and the cliff-top Temple of Poseidon, with a relaxed lunch at a seaside taverna on the way. It suits travellers who have seen the Acropolis before, or who simply want sea air, good food and easy sightseeing on a port day. Total time is about 6 hours from the Piraeus pier, and we guarantee you are back on board before all-aboard.

About this tour

Not every port day has to be ruins and crowds. This one follows the coast south from Athens to Cape Sounion, where the Temple of Poseidon stands on a cliff above the sea, with a long lunch at a seaside taverna in between. It is the easy, scenic alternative to a city day.
