Great sights with my great guide Manos. - An unbelievable day seeing the sites in Greece. Manos was my guide. He was very informative and personable. He was also great at getting to my various locations before they got busy. He made me feel very welcome to his country and want to spread the word to my friends and family about how awesome this place is. It may sound cheesy, but he started the day as my guide, but ended the day as my friend. I can’t recommend Manos and this trip enough!!

A must see sunset! - This was a great evening trip. Driving from Athens down the coast was delightful. It reminded me of driving the California coast to Big Sur. Our driver Alexander made this one of the best things we did while visiting Athens. He is extremely personable and very informative. We arrived at the Poseidon Palace with plenty of time to take in the history and view the site before sunset. We have seen many sunsets, in many places around the world. This is among the best. We followed this with a wonderful dinner waterside at the harbor below the Poseidon Palace. We will use Olive Sea Travel in our future excursions.

Sunset at Temple of Poseidon - Stunning view - Our tour guide, Nasos, drove us through the coastal towns outside of Athens. We enjoyed the local scenery and the beauty of the Aegean Sea, and stopped to take some pictures along the way. Even though, on that day, there were wild fires burning outside of Athens along our route, he made sure that we arrived to Temple of Poseidon safe with enough time to explore the historic site and watch the breathtaking sunset. We have to extend our gratitude to Nasos - he was constantly educating us about the surroundings and the endless history of Greece. You will not be disappointed with Nasos to be your guide.

Enjoy the Journey - For the final tour of our stay in Greece, we chose this private half-day tour that took us away from the hustle and bustle of Athens and onto a long drive to Cape Sounion. George, our guide, arrived early at our hotel. He was friendly and courteous and his knowledge of the history of the sites we visited was extensive. The coastal road drive was relaxing as we enjoyed the panoramic views and made a few stops to take some pictures. The Temple of Poseidon was a sight to behold! George patiently waited for us as we hiked to the top and shopped for souvenirs after. For lunch, George recommended a place that gave us a beautiful view of Cape Sounion and the temple. After multiple tours of Athens, Santorini, and Mykonos, this long drive along the coast was the perfect ending to our vacation. Thank you, George, for the journey.

Beautiful sunset. Aristotelis is an excellent guide - As mentioned earlier, my wife and I booked this private excursion while already on a city tour with Aristolelis. We appreciated the sea side views of Athens and the coast line drive was beautiful. The sunset views from the Temple of Poseidon were spectacular. We are in Santorini now and it's been cloudy, so I'm glad we had already seen a breath taking Greecian sunset. Thanks for an amazing, memorable day Aristotelis and Olive Sea Travel!!!
