ATHENS RIVIERA Your Private Tour Driver will be at your Cruise Ship or Athens Residence ahead of time & ready to meet you at the agreed time. From there your journey heads to the Athens Riviera with its many popular beaches & restaurants as well as experiencing many of Athens distinct neighbourhoods along the way such as Palaion Faliro, Glyfada, Vouliagmeni and Varkiza. LAKE VOUIAGMENI A natural rock formation & small lake set just off the sea front. The waters of this spring have been used by locals for decades as a health treatment & you will have the option of stopping here for a swim. The site is also equipwd with changing faclities. LUNCH BY THE SEA Enjoy the Aegean views over a wonderful lunch TEMPLE OF POSEIDON At the southernmost point of the Peninsula of Athens we come to the Temple of Poseidon. Located 70 meters on a clifftop this amazing temple was dedicated to the God Poseidon. It was the last thing Ancient sailors saw on leaving port & the first site on return with many legends to learn. THORIKOS THEATRE The Ancient Theatre of Thorikos built around 525 BC (around 2500 years ago) is the oldest known theatre in the world but lies almost forgotten & a short drive from the more famous Temple of Poseidon. Without guards or fences one can just walk into this site & imagine the performances that once graced its stage with the backdrop of the Aegean sea in the distance.
