A pleasant and educational day with Costa at Cape Sunio - The tour we did with Costa was excellent.First he is real gentleman.Second he very personable.Third he is very knowledgeable.Before we even left Athens we made a few stops to view some important sites and Costa was very thorough in his explanations of their history and importance.As our drive continued on towards the Athenian Riviera you could feel his enthusiasm for sharing his love of history.As we approached the Temple of Poseidon we discussed in length the importance of the gods and the titans and how they came to being.On our returned We had a discussion of his love of travel and all the places he has visited throughout most of Europe.(by motorcycle)Wonderful trip!
