Depart by bus to Athinios port and embark on a unique Greek traditional boat. First set sail for the lava islet of Nea Kameni, and walk an ascending path to the crater of the still-active volcano to enjoy incredible sights (1.5 hours). Return to set sail for the second lava islet called Palea Kameni. Dive to find its Hot Springs, have the chance to swim in the green sulfur waters and experience bathing in warm therapeutic mud.
Next is the traditional island of Thirassia for free time (1.5 hours). Visit the village of Manolas, which is accessed by winding stairs either by walking or riding a donkey. Back on the boat make a short stop at the port of Armeni, in Oia before setting sail back for Athinios.

The driving distance between Athens to Cape Sounion is 68 km. It takes approximately 59 min to drive from Athens to Cape Sounion.
On our tours, there'll never be more than 49 travelers per group. However, you'll usually find the average group size at around 40 passengers, which is just the right size to ensure you get the most out of the group travel experience.
During summer, the archaeological site of Cape Sounion can get very crowded and the traffic to get there will likely be unbearable, as beaches around Sounion are among the most pristine beaches in Attica, hence very popular. Last but not least, you don’t want to climb to the Temple of Poseidon under the scorching summer sun. On the other hand, due to its location, Cape Sounion is quite exposed to the elements during winter. That means that if it gets windy, rainy or cold during your visit, your otherwise amazing day trip from Athens can be ruined.Â
The best seasons to visit Cape Sounion are spring and autumn when there are fewer crowds and the weather is mild.
