Tickets for the temple can be bought on-site, but the archaeological area is a 1.5 hours drive from Athens, which is why most visitors choose a full or half-day trip to Cape Sounion to see the Poseidon Temple effortlessly.
The regular tickets cost 20€ in the summer and 10€ during the winter. People entitled to a reduced entry will pay half price to enter. The list for the reduced and free admissions is the same as the Acropolis.
The site is open all year from 9:30AM to sunset, with the last entry 20 minutes before sunset time. The temple is closed on the 1st of January, the 25th of March, the 1st of May, Easter Sunday, and the 25th and 26th of December. It also has reduced hours on Good Friday (12PM to 5PM) and Holy Saturday (9:30AM to 3:30PM).
The Temple of Poseidon is accessible to people with mobility impairments, depending on the severity. The terrain is uneven and can be a bit steep, so an accompanying person is recommended. There are also accessible tours that will provide all the necessary help.
Visitors are not allowed to touch or climb on any part of the ruins, as this can damage the ancient structures. Eating, drinking, and smoking are also forbidden within the archaeological site to maintain cleanliness and protect the integrity of the temple grounds.
Littering is strictly prohibited. Engaging in commercial activities like unauthorized selling or professional photography without a permit is also restricted. Additionally, pets are not allowed inside, except for service animals.
