Transfer from Athens International Airport and Cape Sounion Tour
We can pick you up you from Athens international Airport and we will head to Temple of Poseidon to enjoy your first sunset in Athens, with a remarkable view to Aegean.
We will drive along the southeast of Attica region, which offers wonderful scenery, and then we will pass through the Lavrion village (it was the silver and gold quarry of ancient Athens). If we have enough time, we can make a stop to enjoy a coffee or snack in the port.
Our last stop will be at Vouliagmeni Lake
Lake Vouliagmeni “Sunken Lake” a small brackish-water lake is fed by underground streams that spring up through the mass of Mount Hymettus located to the south of Vouliagmeni, Athens, Greece.
The imposing rock, thermal waters, the labyrinthine underwater tunnels and the lush vegetation create a unique geological phenomenon. The lake’s present form was created after the roof of the cave fell because of erosion caused by the high temperature of the running water.
The duration of the tour is 5-6 hours
