NOT AS ADVERTISED

As a group of 4 senior ladies we were not impressed with the discomfort of the small back seat. We were really looking forward to swimming in the lake but were advised the lake was full and no idea when we might get in. The driver took us to a very Stoney beach, could not swim. When we got to temple we were advised that we would only be there for 1 hour, so no sunset which was the main draw for the tour. We drove back thru the industrial complex not the scenic drive along the water. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Operator response

Hello Shirley, it was a pleasure spending the day with you.You can clearly see that swimming in the lake or at the beach in not mentioned in the intereray.Although because you were already wearing swimsuits i tryed to find a beach close by to swim but sadly the weather was bad and windy.Finaly the tour lasts 4.5H your booking was at 15.00 and the sun sets 20.30 in Greece at September.You had 1 full Hour at the temple as described in the itinerary and a total duration of 5 hours including swimming.

Panos was a terrific guide! His local knowledge and understanding of the place he calls home was insightful and interesting. Great ride and memorable. Finishing our Athens piece of the trip with a sunset at the Temple of Poseidon was amazing. Efcharisto Panos - well done!

Stavros was the best

I had the pleasure of experiencing a sightseeing at Cape Sounio to see the magnificent Temple of Poseidon. The location is a must see and the route to get there was along the coastline of the Athenian Riviera. Our driver Stavros shared fascinating insights about the history of the temple and the places we were passing by , he made it a rewarding experience. Stavros was warm and friendly from the start and made our sightseeing ride worthwhile!!
