Excellent trip for a half day! - Wonderful trip through the Athenian Riviera seeing the highlights and stopping wherever we wished for photos. The temple was magnificent and definitely worth seeing. Our guide was fabulous and such a sweet person! Loved spending the time with him.

Half day trip from Athens to Cape Sounion - Had an enjoyable half day visiting some sites one of the highlights was Poseidons temple followed by a delicious fresh off the boat seafood lunch as recommended by our driver Ilias Kanteres. Ilias was very easy going and knowledgeable. Highly recommend Ilas

Private tour of Cape Sounion from Athens - Ilias could not have shown us a better time. He took us to all the sights and shared excellent commentary in perfect English. There is no better way to tour an unfamiliar place than with a private driver, and there is no better private driver than Ilias. Perfect communication, immaculate and comfortable vehicle, and a really fun trip from Athens to Cape Sounion and back. If I could give six stars I would!

Perfect tour & perfect lunch - We had 5 hours to spare after debarking from our Med cruise and one of us had an injured leg. Glykeria organised an amazing tour for us, with great flexibility, amazing places (the Temple of Poseidon was out of this world) easily accessible, and a wonderful fish lunch in a Greek Taverna by the sea. Highly recommended!

Great post-cruise day trip - We did this trip the day we finished a cruise. It was perfect because we didn’t have to arrange ground transfer from the port to our hotel in Athens. Our driver, Glykeria was very knowledgeable about the area, and gave us more context to what we were seeing/experiencing. My kids loved the stop at the beach and the fish market/restaurant. I loved seeing the Temple of Poseidon - the views are incredible. It was a great day and one we will remember for a long time.

Trip to temple of Poseidon - Very nice trip to Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon. Glykeria was a great driver and tour guide, made extra stops to show us sights and provided us with lots of additional information. And then she also took us to a local restaurant where we ate excellent fish. A very nice day we were able to experience.

A day trip to Sounion - We booked a full day experience with Glykeria, she tailored the trip to what we did/didn’t see yet. She was so personable and answered all our questions. She was knowledgeable about history, Greek mythology and entertained us with many stories. Her driving was also great. We had the most amazing fish lunch along the way-best calamari and grilled sea green we ever had! We would DEFINITELY recommend a trip with her.

Great tour - Athens to Cape Sounion - We did the half day trip from Athens to Cape Sounion, with Michael as our driver and it was such a pleasure. We were looking for a low key way to see some sites outside of Athens, the Temple of Poseidon, in particular. Michael gave us a nice tour of several spots along the way from Athens. We had good conversation and he told us about Greek life and living in Athens with his family. His car is comfortable and clean, he was thoughtful to provide us water, and it was a nice ride to the cape. At the end, he took us to a local restaurant and the food was excellent. Overall, it was a day well spent and we are happy we did this tour!
