“Visiting the Temple of Artemida in Vravrona in complete solitude was magic, just as it was sipping great Retsina and reds in a winery while tasting galotyri, gruyere and other cheese with weird names but great taste.”

Your Great Attica Historic day tour will start with a van picking you up at your hotel in the morning. A Beyond Athens guide will welcome you aboard and provide you with general info about the day’s itinerary and activities and hand you informative material on the area that you will explore.
First you will be taken on a guided visit to the Temple of Poseidon (5th century BC) at Cape Sounio. A mythological invented story, photo or sketch contest will be organized, with a surprise award for the winner. The Sounio tour will end, weather permitting, with a refreshing swim at a local beach. A light snack will eventually be offered.
Later in the morning the tour will drive you to Vravrona, on the East Coast, where you will enjoy a walk through the wetland created by mythical Erasinos River, guided visit of the Artemis Sanctuary and the gems of the attached archaeological museum. For nature and animal lovers, there also is the possibility to do the arrangements for birdwatching in the neighboring wetland (at an extra cost).
You will then visit the typical vineyard and the bioclimatic premises of a winery in Attica’s inland. After a tour throughout the domaine, the cellars and winery, during which you will hear about the land and its trademark wines. Finally, snacks and finger food will pair different wines of the house. A hearty lunch by the sea will follow, before heading back to the hotel.
