Travel along the Athens Riviera in a private, air-conditioned van, passing beach coves and sea cliffs as the city slowly gives way to open coastline and Cape Sounion.
Stop at Lake Vouliagmeni for a swim in its thermal spa waters, a natural lake known for its steady temperature and peaceful setting (entry ticket not included).
Visit the Temple of Poseidon, perched above the Aegean Pelagus, where you can explore the ancient site at your own pace.
Enjoy the ease of a private transfer with a dedicated driver-guide, hotel pickup and drop-off, and the flexibility to move without crowded buses or fixed group schedules.
Fun fact: The Temple of Poseidon was built around 444 BCE, which happens to be the same year construction on the Parthenon began.
