Athenian Riviera Drive and Sunset at Cape Sounio

  • Meet your knowledgeable driver and begin by driving along the Athenian Riviera, with the Aegean progressively unfolding before you as you pass through the upscale suburbs of Glyfada, Voula, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza.
    • The immense blue of the Aegean Sea and the extraordinary landscape make Greece ideal for honeymooners, but Cape Sounio has its own special atmosphere that awakens the romantic in everyone. It is a place where you can share enchanted, precious moments with your significant other. Your honeymoon should be more than a trip; it should be an experience of a lifetime.
  • Stop at the picturesque peninsula of Vouliagmeni. This is the most expensive piece of land in the whole of Greece, with majestic mineral waters and a spa-like setting. Its mild climate and water temperature make it a year-round destination. The most expensive hotel in Attica can be found here, which helps explain how special this destination is. You will also witness the beauty of Anavissos during the tour.
  • Continuing along the dreamy coast and taking in the Aegean, the Saronic Gulf, and its small islands, your driver will take you to magical Cape Sounio, where the sunset is truly unforgettable.
  • Crowning the cape is the Temple of Poseidon, dedicated to the Greek God of the Sea. It is surrounded by the remains of its fortifications, gateway, and houses. Nearby are also the remains of Athena Souniada. This precious site is hard to top, but you will also enjoy an idyllic dinner by the sea. A true romantic can never pass up the chance to visit Sounio.
  • Drop-off at your stay at the end of the tour.
