Overview

Sunset at Cape Sounio – A Mythical Evening by the Sea

As the city’s pace slows, embark on a refined journey to the southernmost tip of the Attic peninsula. Sounio Sunset Serenity is a 6-hour private escape designed for those who appreciate the finer things in life: breathtaking views, ancient history, and world-class coastal beauty.

Your experience begins 3 hours before sunset to ensure a leisurely pace. We bypass the highways in favor of the Athenian Riviera coastal road, offering panoramic Saronic Gulf views from your luxury executive vehicle. We pause at the mystical Lake Vouliagmeni for a refreshment and photos of its emerald waters before continuing our “Aegean Odyssey.”

The climax of your journey is the Temple of Poseidon. Standing on the rugged cliffs of Cape Sounio, you will witness the marble columns turn golden as the sun sinks into the sea. To conclude this elegant evening, we have reserved time for you to enjoy a seaside dinner at one of the region’s renowned taverns, allowing you to savor fresh Mediterranean flavors under the stars before our smooth return to Athens.

An ideal tour for travelers who want to explore beyond the city and connect with the spirit of Greece—without rushing.

Throughout the journey, your driver will share tales from antiquity and Greek mythology connected with the archaeological site whenever it’s safe to do so, ensuring both your enjoyment and safety on the road.
