Overview of your Athens tour:

As a native of the southern suburbs of Athens, I have spent my life living by the sea, and the coastline of my hometown holds a special place in my heart. My deep love for the sea is reflected in the joy I find in regularly driving along the stunning Athens Riviera. I can't help but admire the breathtaking views of the Saronic Gulf as I journey towards the southeastern tip of Attica, where the majestic Temple of Poseidon awaits our exploration. Let's embark together on an captivating journey from the vibrant centre of Athens to the awe-inspiring Temple of Poseidon in Sounio, Greece. Prepare to be captivated by the serene beauty of the sea, the coastal charm of Athens Riviera, and (afternoon departure) the mesmerizing sunset over the Saronic Gulf. This half day tour promises a perfect blend of ancient history, breathtaking landscapes, and the vibrant atmosphere of the Athens Riviera. The tour and its itinerary are customizable according to your interests or needs. Please contact me for more details.
