Private Percy Jackson Tour of Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon from Athens

    If your kids are Percy Jackson fans, then this half-day private tour from Athens is an absolute must! Driving along the Athens Riviera, you will head towards Cape Sounion, where there is a temple dedicated to Percy’s father – The Temple of Poseidon. Spend some time admiring its position and listening to tales from Greek Mythology in the company of our expert guide, before the perfect ending to the tour – A magical sunset with the Temple as a backdrop.

    Family Trip to Cape Sounion

    As this is a private family tour, you will be taken in a comfortable vehicle out of Athens, where you will join up with the coastline, before driving along the Athens Riviera. During the drive to the Temple of Poseidon, there will be plenty of time for a swim along the way. Depending on the time of year, you might choose to swim in the warm waters of the Vouliagmeni thermal lake, or the sea itself. Whichever you decide, we’re sure you are going to enjoy this welcome break from your busy sightseeing schedule to have some fun in the water!

    In case you do not fancy a swim or the weather does not permit it, we will stop at Stavros Niarchos Park.

    The Temple of Poseidon

    Finally, after drying off and continuing the drive, you will arrive at the Temple of Poseidon. This temple has been standing for nearly 2500 years, and is of a Doric style. There are many myths and legends connected with the temple, as well as those concerning Poseidon himself. The kids will love visiting the Temple of Percy’s father that inspired Rick Riordan books.

    The Sunset at the Temple of Poseidon

    As the sun slowly starts to sink lower in the sky, there’s something truly magical about the sunset at the Temple of Poseidon, and witnessing it really gives a better understanding as to just why the ancient Greek built the temple in this place.

    Once the sun has finally set, it is then time to walk back out of the site to the vehicle and begin the drive back to Athens. It’s been a fun afternoon, so there will be plenty to talk about on the way back!
