Cape Sounion and Temple of Poseidon Half Day Tour from Athens

Lovely evening

Loved this tour. Was a last minute add-on on our last night in Athens, and so glad we did it. The beach stop was lovely and the sunset at the temple of Poseidon was beautiful!

What a GREAT day we had we our tour guide, Dimitris. He picked us up in front of our cruise ship right on time. His local knowledge of Thessaloniki was amazing, he grew up here. He drove us to all the major sights, never pressured us to hurry and treated us like family. If you come to Thessaloniki and want to see all the attractions you should hire Dimitris..

Great experience

Perfect visit to Poseidons Temple!!

Just Ok

Well, let me start by saying that we were not picked up at our hotel. We were given the information that we would need to get to a different hotel about a 15 minute walk from our own hotel. Not a big deal as I assumed maybe others needed to be picked up from that hotel too?, but we were the only ppl there to be picked up. Then, we ended up driving right past our hotel to pick up 2 other couples at another hotel! I don't know if this is the Tour Guy or the third-party tour company that was at fault, but it was bothersome as I was expecting to be picked up either at or close to my hotel. (We were staying by the acropolis so there were plenty of hotels w/in walking distance to have us walk to vs. a hotel in Syntagma Square. Tour: tour was fine, the driver spoke the entire trip to Cape Sounion and provided historical background information. Once we arrived, the ticket to get into Poseidon's temple was not included in the price of the tour (which is stated, but I missed in the tour description). Furthermore, it was 20 euro/pp, not the pricing listed on the Tour Guy's website. Basically, at the end of the day, we spent close to $200 for 2 to see a sunset, so I would not do it again and not sure I would recommend, but I am glad, I guess, that I did do it.

Excellent tour! Transportation was great. Tour guide Dania was very knowledgeable and entertaining! Time allowed for tour was perfect!

Fun Time - Great Weather

Did the half day tour to the Temple of Poseidon. Our guides were Billy and Dinae. Billy drove. Dinae provided the audio. I enjoyed the experience. We were very lucky, the weather was great. Dinae (sorry for misspelling) gave practical info, history, and a primer on mythology. She also provided a list of restaurant suggestions. I went to one on the list for lunch - delicious!

A great tour and a beautiful sunset

Perikles and Fortis picked us up at our hotel right on time! Perikles did a great job dealing with the Athens traffic to get us safely to our destination. Fortis kept us entertained, engaged and enlightened the entire trip! We stopped at a sunken hot spring lake for pictures and to stretch on our legs on the way to the Temple. It was a beautiful spot. Then it was off to the beach! We stopped at a small cafe with a private beach for a snack/dinner and swimming if you wanted. The food was delicious, service was very good and the Mediterranean called several of us to jump in. There were showers and bathrooms for changing. Then it was on to the main event - the sunset! One quick kodak moment picture stop where Fortis played papparazzi for all of us and got some great shots of us with the Temple of Poseidon in the background. Fortis gave us clear instructions on when to be back on the bus so we wouldn't be stuck behind all the large buses returning to town. We were there in plenty of time to check out the Temple in the daylight before the sunset started. And what a beautiful sunset it was. You never know in advance if a sunset will be good and we got very lucky. We enjoyed the sunset most of the way back to Athens too. I would highly recommend this tour as a perfect ending to a great day.

Fantastic Sunset

This was a fantastic tour with George. We stopped for pictures, and stopped to eat as well. Small groups, very well planned!
