Guided Sunset Tour to Cape Sounio

Temple of Poseidon - A driver will pick you up from your hotel, traveling along the Athens coastline and the Athenian Riviera to reach “Cape Sounio” and the Temple of Poseidon. Enjoy the breathtaking sunset over the Aegean Sea! According to legend, Cape Sounion is where Aegeus, king of Athens, met his demise, giving his name to the Aegean Sea. The myth tells of King Aegeus’s son, Theseus, who was sent to Crete to slay the Minotaur, a creature half-man, half-bull. If successful, Aegeus requested white sails on the return voyage. Although Theseus killed the Minotaur, he forgot to change the black sails. Aegeus, anxiously watching from Cape Sounion, despaired upon seeing the black sail on Theseus’s returning ship, believing his son had perished, and took his own life.
