Athens and Cape Sounion in one private day

This Athens & Cape Sounio Full Day Tour pairs the capital’s landmarks with a scenic drive to Cape Sounion. You get a private Athens city circuit — including the Acropolis — then continue along the Riviera for the Temple of Poseidon.

It is ideal when you want both a private tour of Athens and a Cape Sounion sunset without splitting them across two days. Hotel pickup, flexible pacing and a vehicle for your group only.
