In order to visit the archaeological site of Sounio and the temple of Poseidon, you may have to pay the entrance ticket which costs up to €8 per adult (Kindly notice that we decided to NOT include this ticket to the Sounio Cruise experience because in many cases it is for free and we didn’t want to charge everyone with up to 8 euros when some of the travellers are allowed to enter for free! Fair, right?)

- €8 per adult
- €4 per person between 01 November and 31 March

Our yacht travels with winds up to 6 Beaufort.

Printing is not necessary and not eco-friendly.
Most of the times, we only need a valid ID matching your booking.

You should definitely book in advance.
Bookings are essentials for us to organise the Sounio Cruise in a way that you will get the most of it (i.e. to determine the crew members on board, to cook the proper quantities of food, to avoid over-bookings, etc).

Have in mind the temperature variation as it is usually warm in the day but it gets cooler in the afternoon.
It is recommended to have a pair of slippers as well as a pair of sneakers or other durable/suitable type of shoes for the 10′ walk uphill to the temple of Poseidon.
Please don’t forget your swimwear, your hat, sunglasses and a light jacket to best enjoy the sunset on the open deck.

When travelling abroad, we would suggest you to purchase a travel insurance package that best fits your needs.
Well, this actually depends on the weather conditions on the day you are about to travel.
Most of the times, waters along the coast of Athens and the whole Attica are mostly calm and winds are rarely strong.
The best thing to do is to contact your physician in advance to give you some extra advices.

We strongly suggest that you should contact your telecommunications provider before your trip to check compatibility issues and possible charges that may occur.

The electricity voltage in Greece is 220 V/50 Hz and the plugs are of type F.
Although it wouldn’t be a problem to purchase an adaptor and transformer of any kind in Greece, we suggest that you should make a purchase in your country.
