Spetses: Sunset Guided Hike with Snacks and Drinks

Embark on a guided hike on Spetses mountain and admire the beauty of your surroundings as the sun goes down. Experience the vivid colors of the golden hour with some snacks and drinks from an ideal location on the mountain. Start with pickup from your accommodation and travel to the starting point of the hike. Set off on the path with your guide, pass through an olive grove, and admire the views on your trek.

Cape Sounio with Athens Riviera Drive

4. Cape Sounio with Athens Riviera Drive

Travel with us along the coast, to the southernmost tip of the peninsula of Attica, Cape Sounion. A getaway that is very close to Athens and it is famous for its beaches, fish restaurants and the striking ruins of the Temple of Poseidon. Set high on the promontory, the temple forms part of a triangle of ancient sites, including the Acropolis and the Temple of Aphaea on Aegina. They are all equal distances from each other as the crow flies, and on a clear day maybe you will be able to see the other two monuments. Sounio is also where Aegeus tragically fell from the cliffs when he saw the black sails that his son Theseus had forgotten to change and thought that he was dead. The Aegean sea was thus named after him. It is a beautiful place to watch the sunset, the white marble columns framed by the sky and the lovely blue sea! We will also have a stop at Lake Vouliagmeni so you may see it.

Athens: City Highlights & Cape Sounio Private Combo Tour

5. Athens: City Highlights & Cape Sounio Private Combo Tour

This tour of Athens takes us to the most famous sites of the city, both ancient and modern. Undoubtedly the most famous landmark of Athens is the Parthenon. It is the ancient temple which was dedicated to Athena, the goddess that Athens got its name from. It is on top of the Acropolis Hill, which is visible from many parts of Athens, and around it there is the historical centre. Moving away a little bit from the area just around the Acropolis, we will see the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front of the Parliament. These guards, known as Evzones, are the elite force of the Greek Army and until the Second World War they were known for their bravery and honor. The costume they wear was introduced by King Otto of Greece, inspired by the traditional clothes of the mountain warriors and bandits who formed the resistance to the Ottoman Empire. We will also see the stadium where the first modern Olympics were held in 1896. We will visit the Temple of Olympian Zeus, with only a few of its original 104 columns standing, and the monument known as the arch of Hadrian, a Roman structure dedicated to Theseus and Hadrian as the founders of Athens. Then travel along the coast, to the southernmost tip of the peninsula of Attica, Cape Sounion. A getaway that is very close to Athens and it is famous for its beaches, fish restaurants and the striking ruins of the Temple of Poseidon. Set high on the promontory, the temple forms part of a triangle of ancient sites, including the Acropolis and the Temple of Aphaea on Aegina. They are all equal distances from each other as the crow flies, and on a clear day maybe you will be able to see the other two monuments. Sounio is also where Aegeus tragically fell from the cliffs when he saw the black sails that his son Theseus had forgotten to change and thought that he was dead. The Aegean sea was thus named after him. It is a beautiful place to watch the sunset, the white marble columns framed by the sky and the lovely blue sea!

We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful and comfortable drive to and from the magical Cape Sounion. The guide and driver was very well informed and concerned for our satisfaction with the trip and for our general enjoyment during our stay in Greece.

Our hostess, Anna, was adorable. Her food was great. There was basically unlimited beer and wine. The wind was high and the sea was rough, but the captain did a good job.

Excellent sunset cruise with just 5 other people. Excellent dinner. Great opportunities to swim and dive off the boat. My family loved it.

The guide was amazing and had a great time. Couldn’t of asked for a better trip. The Guide really made it all that much better

A wonderful experience such welcoming hosts made for a perfect last day in Athens! Thanks very much!
