Activity itinerary

Athens (Pass by)

This full-day private tour begins with pick-up from your hotel or apartment. If your accommodation is not accessible (e.g. located in a pedestrian zone or outside central Athens or the southern suburbs), a nearby convenient meeting point will be arranged for your pick-up.

Lake Vouliagmeni

  • 30m
A short stop for unforgettable photos at one of the most photographed locations in Athens. The Vouliagmeni Lake is a unique natural brackish lake with therapeutic properties, located in the coastal area of Vouliagmeni. Recognised as part of the Natura 2000 protected network and designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty, Vouliagmeni Lake is truly one of a kind. Surrounded by dramatic rock formations and crystal waters, it offers a peaceful and visually stunning stop that combines natural history, geology, and breathtaking scenery—perfect for photography and admiration.

Thimari

  • 15m
Τhe landscape begins to transform into something almost island-like. The scenery feels surprisingly Cycladic, with rugged, dry terrain on one side and endless shades of blue stretching across the Saronic Gulf on the other. Just when the setting feels complete, a small white chapel appears, perfectly placed as if it belonged on a remote Greek island. The Church of Panagia Kataphygiotissa, located in the secluded cove of Kataphygi in Thymari, is far more than a simple seaside chapel. It is a true work of art, enhanced by the renowned artist Dimitris Mytaras, who added his unique artistic touch to an already breathtaking natural setting. The result is a quiet, almost cinematic stop where nature, sea, and art come together in perfect harmony.

Charakas Beach

  • 2h
After a scenic drive along the Athens Riviera, passing beautiful coastal landscapes, beaches, and small seaside villages, we will arrive at our first beach stop. Here you can relax by the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, and optionally have a drink, refreshment, or light snack at a nearby beach café. Swimming is a must, enjoy a refreshing dip in the sea—just remember to bring your swimwear and towels. You are welcome to use the public beach area along with available changing rooms, showers, and facilities free of charge. If you choose to use organised beach services such as sunbeds and umbrellas, these are provided by independent beach operators and may involve an additional cost payable directly on site. These services are optional and not included in the tour price.

Temple of Poseidon

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Explore one of Greece’s most iconic ancient landmarks, the Temple of Poseidon. Perched dramatically on a cliff above the sea, this temple offers both historical significance and unforgettable views. You will have time to walk around the site, take photos, and learn about its mythological and historical importance as a sacred point for ancient sailors. Admission fee payable on-site 20€/person.

Sounio

  • 2h
Stop at a local seaside tavern where you can enjoy authentic Greek cuisine in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere by the sea. You can choose from fresh seafood, grilled meats, seasonal salads, and traditional Greek dishes, all prepared with local ingredients. Dine with beautiful sea views in a place where locals themselves eat, away from crowded tourist areas, and experience the true flavours of Greek gastronomy in an authentic setting. Please note that meals at the restaurant are not included in the tour price.

Archaeological Site of Thorikos

  • 1h 30m
For guests interested in history, the experience includes visits to lesser-known archaeological sites in the Lavrio area. These may include the ancient Theatre of Thorikos, one of the oldest known theatres in Greece, as well as Mycenaean-era tombs that reveal the deep historical layers of the region. These stops add an authentic cultural dimension to the journey and may be adjusted depending on timing and group pace.

Athens (Pass by)

Just after sunset, we will begin the relaxing drive back to Athens, enjoying the calm evening atmosphere along the coastal road. The tour concludes with drop-off at your hotel or apartment, leaving you with lasting memories of a full day along the Athens Riviera.
