Perfect Poseidon - We had the best driver ever! Make sure you ask for Dimitris he is Amazing!!!
It was a beautiful drive and we had a couple nice stops on the way. The timing was perfect for the most beautiful sunset.
And on the way back he offered to take us to a lovely restaurant on the water (mostly locals spot so u know it good).
They literally catch what they serve fresh daily. My husband actually picked out the fish he ate for dinner. And they have an amazing Greek salad as well.
Definitely fit this in your schedule
we did it our last evening and it was the best way to and our vacation.

Wonderful dinner and beautiful view - This was a wonderful experience. Our guide Manos was wonderfully engaging and knowledgeable. He took us to a great seaside restaurant with a view of the temple for dinner. We enjoyed wonderful seafood. We then had time to explore the temple and grounds while waiting for one of the most beautiful sunsets. On the way back Manos told us about many places to visit the next time we were in Greece that has us very excited for another trip.

Athens and Dimitris - Dimitris, as usual, provided a great tour and his knowledge is exceptional! He got us to site just in time for the beautiful sunset. Then from there we traveled along and stopped for beautiful photo ops and he dropped us off at a wonderful restaurant for a yummy meal.

Ask Dimitra to book you a private tour with Manos - We dealt with Dimitra in the Olive Sea Travel office, she was incredibly thorough and made some great suggestions. She kept us well informed and provided great insight and local knowledge regarding our day trip and other questions we had.
On the day we had Manos take us on a private tour. Manos was wonderful, cheerful, funny and entertaining. He was super enthusiastic and had fantastic local knowledge. As far as a tour guide goes, Manos should be applauded for his ability to keep everyone engaged, laughing and smiling for the entire day. He gave us many options for things to do, provided us with cold drinks, really went out of his way to make our day memorable and tailored to our own needs. There were no awkward silences as Manos was full of positive energy and life, fun facts and great tips.

Ask for Manos! - Our guide and driver Manos was excellent. He made stops to suit what we wanted to see, communicated with us throughout the day, and showed us some of the most beautiful places in the area. Manos took the time to get to know our group, told us stories, facts, and jokes. We had a wonderful time with him, and would recommend him to any tourists wanting a knowledgeable guide (please give him a raise, olive sea travel!)
The van was comfortable, Manos kept us well hydrated, and ensured we had a fabulous time.

The Temple of Poseidon and John were GREAT!! - This was such a wonderful experience for our multigenerational group of 10. The communication from the company before our tour was excellent. John was an absolutely AMAZING driver and so professional. We never felt rushed. He was even able to assist with finding a dinner option after the temple and waited patiently while we finished. The Mercedes van looked brand new and had fabulous air conditioning which we greatly appreciated as it was July and very hot!! If we ever get back to Athens we’ll definitely book with Olive Sea again and hope we have someone as great as John to show us around.

Half day sunset visit to the Temple of Poseidon - The tour pickup was perfectly on time accommodating my last-minute request to pick up at our apartment instead of us walking to the pick-up spot. The vehicle was super nice and comfortable for our family of 3. Our driver Panos was excellent, giving us nuggets of history and explaining local culture and Athens evolution throughout the drive. The drive with incredible views of the blue Aegean passed quickly! He dropped us off with about 1.5hr to spare before sunset, told us exactly the sunset time, and overall ensured we had a fantastic experience. The temple itself and the sunset were incredible... highly recommend it. The view is absolutely breathtaking. Panos took really great care of us making our half day well worth the time! Also thanks for the entertaining conversation!

Magnificent Sunset overlooking the Temple of Poseidon - Our tour guide Tollis did a great job getting us to the Temple of Poseidon at the perfect time to capture sunset overlooking the Aegean Sea. The dinner stop afterwards was delicious and gave us a good view of the temple lit up at night. Tollis was a great driver.

Greatest Experience Ever - My husband's and I were on our honeymoon and Andreas our driver was the absolute best we could have asked for. He knew a ton of history and was eager to answer any questions we had. He was the best!
