Activity itinerary

Lake Vouliagmeni

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Your first stop is the breathtaking Lake Vouliagmeni, a natural thermal spa nestled at the foot of limestone cliffs along the Athenian Riviera. Accompanied by your host, you’ll learn about the lake’s geological formation and its therapeutic properties as you approach this peaceful oasis. Walk down to the water’s edge to admire the shimmering turquoise surface, fed by underground springs that keep the temperature naturally warm year-round. Take time to swim or soak your feet, letting the mineral-rich waters relax your body. If you prefer to stay dry, unwind at the lakeside café surrounded by lush greenery, where you can enjoy a coffee or fresh juice.

Temple of Poseidon

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Continue your journey along the scenic Athenian Riviera to reach Cape Sounion, the southernmost tip of Attica. Here stands the majestic Temple of Poseidon, perched high on a cliff overlooking the deep blue Aegean Sea. Before you visit the site, your host will provide a brief introduction to the temple’s history and its connection to ancient Greek mythology. Then, enjoy free time to explore the surrounding area, admire the impressive Doric columns that have stood for over 2,400 years, and take in the breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and nearby islands.

Lavrio

  • 1h 15m
Next, visit the historic seaside town of Lavrio, once a thriving centre of ancient silver mining and today a charming coastal hub with authentic local character. Stroll along the harbour promenade, explore landmarks like the old clock tower, the French Wharf, and elegant neoclassical buildings once used by the mining companies. Enjoy free time to relax at a café or seaside taverna, savouring fresh seafood and the town’s laid-back atmosphere.

Archaeological Site of Silver Mines at Drymos of Lavreotike

  • 1h 30m
A short drive from the town takes you to the Archaeological Mineral Site of Lavrion, where the rich silver deposits once financed the rise of Athens as a powerful ancient city-state. Walk through the open-air remains of the ancient ore washeries, where miners separated silver from lead over 2,000 years ago.

Ancient Theater of Thorikos

  • 30m
Before heading back to Athens, stop at the Ancient Theatre of Thorikos, a hidden archaeological gem often missed by travellers. Dating back to the 6th century BC, this open-air stone theatre is considered the oldest known theatre in Greece, offering a fascinating glimpse into the origins of Greek drama.
