A great evening excursion - This is a wonderful half day getaway from the Plaka and the tourists to see another side of Athens, highlighted by the amazing Temple of Poseidon and the breathtaking sunset. We had a terrific guide in Harry, who told us everything about the sites and the way of life in Greece. Just a wonderful evening.

Temple of Poseidon - My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting the Temple of Poseidon and Cape Sounio today. Both destinations are well worth experiencing for their historic significance and panoramic beauty. The coastal drive from Athens to these venues is spectacular, with many lesser known points of interest along the way. The Temple of Poseidon stands as an enduring testament to the strength and tenacity of Greek heritage and culture. The inspirational nature of all this was richly amplified by our host and driver, Melina. She offered fascinating details and insight relating to Greek’s proud heritage that made its history come alive! Her breadth of knowledge about Greek history and culture is beyond compare. An added bonus is that Melina does all this in a down to earth, easy going, friendly and fun way. She is also a very safe driver and negotiates driving urban streets and rural highways like a pro. We strongly suggest that anyone planning a visit to Athens book a reservation with Melina. You will be glad you did!

Temple of Poseidon - The Temple of Poseidon and Cape Sounio should not be missed during your visit to Athens. Beautiful drive out to the coast of the Aegean Sea. While we had a little light rain, it did not damper our great experience visiting this sight. Our guide, Melina, was fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable of Greek history and mythology that so enhanced our enjoyment. Great conversationalist, professional, personable and a true gem. This tour is not to be missed and you will be extremely blessed if Melina is your guide. Peggy and Michael

Highly Recommend Cape Sounio and Temple of Poseidon - What a fantastic way to end our visit to Athens by seeing the Cape Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon. A beautiful location on the Aegean Sea coast that was breathtakingly magnificent. What made this visit even more memorable was our driver and guide, Melina. Her love for her country, culture and history was reflected in her detailed explanations about the area and sights. Melina is a true historian which made this experience so enlightening and unique. I wish we had more time with her for other tours. Positively recommend this tour and Melina!! Peggy R.

Of course the temple and... - Of course the temple and the drive was beautiful. Melina was amazing. Not only with her knowledge of the temple but she was also poniting out other interesting sites. I also appreciated learning about Greek culture and hx. Totally worthit...Hopefully you will get Melina also.

Everyone needs to Harry as their Tour Guide! - Harry was our personal tour guide and he was awesome. He showed us his personal favorite areas and gave us plenty of time for each location. Visited a lake that he offered to take photos for us, stopped at a cliff that overlooked the fish farm and took photos there too, took us to Cape Sounio and Poseidon Temple, Apotabepna Fish Tavern and finished with a sweet treat at Solo Gelato! My husband and I are very appreciative and enjoyed ourselves with Harry! Truly the best experience! Would book again and again.

Cape Sounio Half Day Tour - Fabulous trip. Had a wonderful time to and from Cape Sunion with our driver Theo. His passion for and knowledge of his country was fully apparent. We appreciated the narrative and impromptu side trip to Lake Vouliagmeni to explore more of the beautiful areas outside of central Athens. What a great way to spend our last day in Greece …. this time 😎
