Every aspect from pick up to drop off was wonderful! We enjoyed learning so much about the Greek culture. The sites were amazing!
We enjoyed the pick up from our Airbnb and appreciated the good AC. The tour seemed a bit expensive for what it was. The driver was nice, but did not provide many stories or tour-related information. At the lake, you have to pay to get in. Also, they have towels at the lake, so you do not have to bring your own (we bought towels the night before, thinking we needed to bring them.). We really enjoyed the Temple of Poseidon - beautiful views and very windy! It costs €20 to walk up to the actual temple. However, you do not need to pay just to walk around the base. A majority of the tour is spent driving (about an hour from Athens to the lake, 45 min from the lake to Temple of Poseidon, 1 hour and 45 min back to Athens). Overall, we would recommend doing the lake separately, so you can stay and enjoy it longer. They have a bar and restaurant! We had about 1.5 hours at the lake and 40 minutes at the temple.
The drive from Athens is beautiful along the coastline and our guide, Taylor, was sure to point out interesting places along the way, as well as makingsure that we stopped along the way to take beautiful pictures. The lake was better than I expected it to be in the area around the lake is so charming. It was a relaxing experience that I highly recommend. At Poseidon‘s temple we were able to walk around and have enough time to chat with others visitors which is often times the best part of the trip! Those views are breathtaking!
thank you to our guide thodoris he explained the history of the lake of vouliagmenis and how special it is and we enjoyed a meal afterwards with him at the temple of Poseidon. It is worth the money thank you thodoris
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable experience with Thodoris. His passion for sharing the history of Lake Vouliagmeni and the area truly makes the tour special, and we're glad you enjoyed spending time together, including your meal by the Temple of Poseidon. Thank you for your recommendation and for choosing us—we hope to welcome you back on another tour soon!
Stavros was very friendly and informative and attentive. Excellent guide. He stopped at beauty spots for us to take photos, along the coast. The lake is an actual spa, so it is worth just booking the extra for swimming which we missed out on! Poseidon’s Temple is nice because it is a lot quieter than the acropolis, but whether it was worth the entrance fee is another matter (€20).
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour and that Stavros made your experience both informative and enjoyable. It's great to know you appreciated the scenic photo stops along the coast. We hope to welcome you back again soon!!!

Cristiano was a really good guide and provided interesting information along the way. He also made sure we had time to visit everything. The lake is worth a visit as well as Poseidon temple.
