3 Spa & Hot Spring Days in Athens to Build a Day Around

1.Lake Vouliagmeni Thermal Spa And Temple Of Poseidon Private Full Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 578 reviews · 6 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $171Our pick

Spend 6 to 7 hours in a private air-conditioned car or minivan, swimming at Lake Vouliagmeni, eating by the sea, and visiting the Temple of Poseidon. Drivers such as George, Theo, and Melina provide local history and flexible timing, but site entrance fees and lunch cost extra.

“Panos was a great guide and very personable. The lake was cold, so only one of four of us swam. The other 3 were just pleased to be in the water, and enjoyed the little fish nibbling at our feet. Beautiful area and not crowded. The Temple of Poseidon was so picturesque out on Cape Sounion. Panos took us to a restaurant for lunch, with the sea just outside the window.”
