Highlights
  • Lake Vouliagmeni - Lake Vouliagmeni (“Sunken Lake”) is a small brackish-water lake fed by underground currents seeping through the mass of Mount Hymettus located to the south of Vouliagmeni,The lagoon formed about 2,000 years ago.It was once a large cavern that collapsed following an earthquake. The outline of the collapsed cavern roof can be clearly discerned from a distance.

The lake has quite unique environmental conditions: it is supplied with warm seawater (28-35°Celsius) via an underground channel spreading through a network of flooded caves, so its temperature never drops below 18 °C (usually ranges around 21-24 °C), whereas a freshwater spring reduces its salinity to brackish levels

Additional Information

Likely the most picturesque journey you’ll undertake while in Athens, this drive along the coastline allows you to view stunning beaches, coves, and sands under the vast azure sky. Upon reaching Sounion, the scene will leave you in awe. This location, at the extreme southern tip of Attica, is noteworthy for two main reasons: Firstly, its strategic geographical significance; it is from this vantage point that Athens monitored the sea route towards the Aegean Sea and Piraeus. Secondly, it is the site where the remnants of the ancient Temple of Poseidon stand.

It’s the ideal site to admire the breath-taking views of the Saronic Gulf and witness a sunset that will etch itself into your memory forever.

Upon request, this tour can also include a trip to the Sacred Rock of Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. Don’t hesitate to inquire…
