Great Memories - Our guide was excellent and we had a wonderful memorable experience! The temple was gorgeous. Wish it had included the 10 euros to enter the grounds vs standing inline.

Relaxing time - Michael was an excellent guide. His quizzing us allowed us to dig deeper into the history of the area. Beautiful ride out to the site. It was a perfect trip for just off the plane and fighting jet lag.

Beautiful Views - Unfortunatley, when we got to Cape Sounion the road was closed due the the Olympic Torch expected to pass through. We got a view of the temple, but never got into the grounds. But Andreas was an amazing guy and gave us a great history of Greece today and the ancient times. The drive along the way to get there was very beautiful. Instead, we went to a very nice café on the water and we shared a coffee and stories with Andreas.

Personalized Site Seeing to Sounio & Much More - For our final day in Athens last July we wanted to end our trip with an unrushed drive to Cape Sounion to visit the Temple of Poseidon and make a few stops along the way. We have travelled this route previously and had a few destinations in mind and let our driver Dimitris Stavrakis know we would also like to visit some new places along the way that may be of interest. Dimitris was both friendly and informative and introduced us to Lake Vouliagmeni that we hope to visit again this year. We stopped at the Temple of Poseidon to soak in the history and spectacular views and on our return we visited a favourite restaurant for a relaxed lunch at The 4 Brothers Tavern. This was a perfect way to end another perfect vacation in Greece and we look forward to using Yomadic Tours and will hopefully see Dimitris again.

This is the tour guide to pick! - This is the second tour we booked with Andreas! He is so knowledgeable and explains anything we have questions about! He also got out and took the photos for me so both my grandmother and I could be in them with the full scenery! Not only does he have other tours, but he will work with your schedule to make sure you get wherever you need to go on time!

Temple of Poseidon is a must do! - Phenomenal excursion with Andreas to Temple of Poseidon on the sea! It’s an easy drive from Athens. Andreas is very knowledgeable about the area and site and had ample time to explore. Stunning views of the sea! We did a morning excursion rather than Sunset and worth every minute!

Temple of Posiedon - This is a long journey 2 hour plus from central Athens which was very enjoyable in a private transfer. The driver was courteous and friendly. The views are stunning and watching the sunset was breathtaking . The driver didn’t rush us and we could take our time at the temple of Poseidon. Bonus was a drop off for an evening meal at a fish bar overlooking the sea. Well worth paying extra for a private transfer I would recommend

Sunset is beautiful - The drive is along the coast which is beautiful. THe temple was lovely but after the Parthenon not as spectacular. The sunset was lovely but it was cold. I recommend you take a jacket with you, We were there in April and the weather can be cooler than expected.

Missed Sunset: Recommend a change/update in Activity time - Timing was off for this activity. Even though Andreas, the assigned driver, arrived 20 mins earlier to pick up, it was not informed to me by the app GetYourGuide / provider to recommend an earlier start time. It was not the fault of the driver, as he has tried his very best to send me to Temple of Poseidon before sunset. But it was too late and I was not able to visit/see the sunset from the location. They should have updated the activity time in accordance to the time of sunset. A bit disappointed as I really wanted to visit the site at sunset. By the time I arrived, all the other tourists had started descending from the site 😔
