What to expect
We head straight to this golden sandy beach, a drive of about 40 minutes along the Athenian Riviera. Dive into clear blue waters and soak up the sun. If a more secluded location suits you better, just speak your driver for alternative spots. (Time typically spent here includes travel time to attraction.)
After all that swimming, enjoy the relaxing 40-minute drive along the glorious Athenian coast to our next destination. Built by the Athenians in the 5th century BC to honour Poseidon, the sea god, this temple stands on top of a hill next to crystal clear waters. You are free to explore the site at your own pace, marvelling at the beauty of the ancient Greek civilization and the natural beauty of the scenery. You have another chance to enjoy the local scenery on our return to Athens (around 1-hour drive). (Time typically spent here includes travel time to the attraction and return to the drop-off point.)
