Fantastic private drive to Cape Sounio / Temple of Poseidon - We had an amazing evening with Yiannis M who drove us from our airbnb in Athens out to the see the gorgeous sunset at Cape Sounio / Temple of Poseidon. We also stopped for a couple additional photos along the way. He was highly knowledgeable, friendly, fun and also a great driver! There were 3 of us and we were super comfortable in Yiannis' car. Highly recommend!

Fantastic coastal drive and Temple of Poseidon tour… plus lunch! - This was a great tour down the coast to Cape Sounio! Nikos was our driver and guide and he was fantastic. It was a gorgeous drive down the coast and the time at Temple of Poseidon. While sunset visits are popular, we were there in the morning and it was so quiet. We thought it was much more enjoyable experience than the Parthenon. You could get close and take your time without all the crowds. We added the lunch option and Nikos took us to a wonderful family seaside restaurant with time to relax. It was a great tour.

Beautiful Drive to the Athens Rivera - Kostantinos is a wealth of knowledge, and entertained us throughout our drive. The sites are breathtaking. He also took us to an amazing restaurant, 4 Brothers, where we enjoyed wonderful fresh food and a beautiful sunset.

Great experience - Our driver was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable of the area and attractions too. We had a great view of Poseidon that day and he helped make our day very enjoyable and relaxing. He even let us stop for 10 extra minutes for changing of the guards as it was along the way back. Thanks for a great day!

So worth it! - Fantastic experience! Very comfortable and unstressful. Picked up on time in a nice vehicle with Wifi and waters. Tour guide Spyros spoke was a great tour guide and spoke great English. Temple of Poseidon is well worth the excursion from Athens and rivaled the Parthenon as a highlight. Also had the best dinner all trip!

Worth the time to see views along the coast & temple. - Very nice private drive from Athens to Poseidons temple on an amazing promontory.We missed the sunset due to weather but had a great lunch overlooking the waves crashing. Our driver did an excellent job circumventing road closures and unexpected protests. We were glad to have included this in our visit.

Poseidon’s Temple - Notis was a fabulous guide to Poseidon’s Temple.He is extremely knowledgeable about Greece, past and present! He answered every question we had and we loved our time with him. For lunch he took us to a great restaurant and we had a delicious Greek salad and fish. We highly recommend this tour! We highly recommend Notis!

It was a beautiful drive... - It was a beautiful drive but much too hard for us to walk up to the Temple. Lunch was very good. However, our guide Michael was very hard for us to understand. He was very attentive but we didn’t catch much of what he was explaining. So all in all it wasn’t worth $333 to take a drive and have some lunch
