Wonderful way to experience sunset in Attica. While we could only get close to the temple it was still the centre piece of a stunning vista. Temple, Mediterranean Sea and the setting sun. Surprising bonus a great chat about the meaning of life, Greek ancient and modern history from Nikos our driver.
The tour to the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion was absolutely amazing. The guide was knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about the history and mythology of the site, which made the visit even more meaningful. The views from the temple, especially overlooking the Aegean Sea, were breathtaking and truly unforgettable. Everything was well organized, from transportation to timing, allowing us to enjoy the location without feeling rushed. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens who wants to experience Greek history, culture, and stunning natural beauty all in one place.
Our tour to Cape Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon was an amazing experience. Our driver was Nikos and he made our day. We also visited the lake of Vouligmeni wich was unique. Thank you Nikos for your help and all the information you shared with us.
Nikos was our driver. He was amazing driver and really made our day. He drove us to Vouliagmeni lake, a unique place, and then to the temple of Poseidon. He had a lot more f knowledge about the place and the myths around it. Really amazing moments and a unique sunset. Thank you Exclusive pickups!
The Temple of Poseiden was absolutely phenomenal, but even more important, our driver, Nikos C. was fabulous! He was so knowledgeable and made the time fly! He explained the history and put what we were seeing in context. We also made a stop at the Sunken Lake, which is someplace we'd love to visit on our next trip to Athens. This is a not to be missed trip.
Fantastic tour of the Riviera and the very special Temple of Poseidon! Highly recommend Nikos and his company. The Temple was majestic and the scenery beautiful.
Nikkos and Kostas took such great care of us! They were flexible to make sure our visit was perfect and truly made our day. We learned a lot from them about the areas we visited as well. We wish we had contacted them before our visit to work with them even more! Thank you!
Nikos was knowledgeable and a friendly guy. Very accommodating and his recommendations were great! I would recommend this to all friends .
This tour was awesome! We booked a day trip from Athens to Vouliagmeni Lake and the Temple of Poseidon, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip. The car was super comfortable and clean, and the drive along the coast had some amazing views. We got to swim and relax at Vouliagmeni Lake (highly recommend!), and then we headed to the Temple of Poseidon just in time for the sunset – absolutely stunning. Our driver was so friendly and easy to talk to, plus he gave us cool little facts about the area along the way. The whole experience felt relaxed and stress-free. Would 100% do it again!
Amazing experience! Nikos is a great guy and made the experience a lovely and unforgettable one for our marriage anniversary !!! Highly recommend this to everyone !
