Poseidon Avenue
Relax in your luxurious vehicle as your driver will drive you by the coastal Poseidon Avenue and the Athenian Riviera.
Enjoy the scenic drive by the coastal modern suburbs of Palio Faliro, Alimos, Glyfada, Voula, and reach the Gorgeous Vouliagmeni area and our first stop.
Vouliagmeni Lake
Vouliagmeni Lake is a natural formation lake with its healing mineral underground springs and its unique beauty.
The imposing rock, thermal waters, the labyrinthine underwater tunnels and the lush vegetation create a unique geological phenomenon.
A great place for relaxation, spa, swimming or enjoying a coffee or a meal by the lake.
Cape Sounion
After your visit to the lake, your driver will continue your beautiful trip by the Athens Riviera, encountering more seaside villages and holiday resorts such as Varkiza, Lagonissi, Saronida, Anavissos, Paralia Thymari and Legrena.
The route is perfect for photography lovers as it offers vast open sea views of the Aegean sea and of the tiny white housed villages by the seaside.
Reaching the south edge of Attica, and the Cape Sounio, we are overwhelmed by the stunning view of the Temple of Poseidon perched on the top of the rock, overlooking the open sea.
The Temple of Poseidon was built by the Athenians in 440 BC roundabout at the same period when Acropolis and the Parthenon were built.
Upon the rock, where the temple of Poseidon is located, you will enjoy a great open view of the Aegean Sea and probably the best sunset of your life if we set off at a later time.
After your visit to the Temple, your driver can take you to some of the best fishing taverns in the area, ideal for tasting fresh fish and seafood.
When you have completed your meal, your driver will take you back to your residence or drop you at the airport (maybe surcharged) for your flight home.
