Theo was our guide and driver. He was very attentive, kind, and informative. My husband and I had a wonderful spa day with this experience.

What a relaxing day. Theo was a great guide for the day and his conversation and humour were the icing on the cake. Amazing lunch stop with the best meal we had in Greece. The lake is a must visit!

What a day! Spent the morning at the Spa, which was beautiful and genuinely relaxing - even though we got a little rain towards the end! Then our marvellous guide Theo took us to a delicious off-the-beaten-track fish restaurant, telling us about Athens the entire way! Cannot recommend this service enough!

My wife and I had an amazing time with the lake and lunch, all thanks to our tour guide Theo. He was funny, kind and knowledgeable both about the local area and the country in general, and he really cared about showing us a great time. No complaints at all, I’d recommend him and the experience to anyone.

We visited Lake Vouliagmeni Thermal Spa as a family and enjoyed the calm, natural setting. The warm water and open surroundings made the visit comfortable and easygoing for all ages. The area felt clean and well managed, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed without feeling crowded. It was a pleasant way for our family to spend time together while enjoying a peaceful wellness experience near Athens.

For me it was as I imagined the place is well placed. The atmosphere is very good and the friends and entourage was really good. Thank you again.

Well didn’t appreciate getting yelled at by tour guide because she said she couldn’t find us , we were at hotel waiting as per the instructions.she never bothered to come to hotel to look for use. The tour itself was good , but at lake we were chased from one lounge to another , saying they were all reserved , so we ended up sitting on a chair . The amount of money we paid , was not worth it ..
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. As our guide understood that both of you had a hearing problem and one of you had hearing aid was talking louder than usual in order for you to hear. We never yell at our guests. Regarding the lake, the simple ticket that you have chosen is under the rule first come first served. As you were advised there were more options like book a couch or a prive area with extra cost. Thank you for your feedback and we wish you a great time in Greece.
This was a great tour. Melina our guide was so knowledgeable and her care made this the perfect introduction to Greece. Lake Vouliagmeni and Posidons temple were both impressive. To top it off we had lunch at a local restaurant with freshly caught seafood. Highly recommend for a fun day out

We visited this place twice on our holiday, the first time as part of a trip to the Temple of Poseidon package. We enjoyed it so much and felt so refreshed from it that we decided to return for a longer visit. We paid extra to be under the pine trees in a more private area. The water was lovely to swim in, the sun loungers very comfortable and the complimentary towels large and soft. Private showers and changing areas were close by and staff were on hand to take food and drink orders. The food portions are generous and reasonably priced. Giorgos our driver picked text me in the morning to confirm the time of pickup and arrived on time. The luxury car was comfortable and had A/C and bottled water for us to keep cool on the hot day. Giorgos was very polite and friendly, and we chatted on our journey together, with him giving us some information about the area along the way. He was ready for us when we were finished at the lake, to drive us back to our hotel in Athens, and even made a small detour after I said there was a local landmark I’d like to see. He stopped so I could take some photos before continuing on the journey. I really appreciated him for allowing this as it added to our experience. When dropping us off he gave us a gift of traditional sweets which was a nice touch.
