Highly Recomend - This tour was very well worth the drive. The drive is about 45 minutes - 1 hour from the center of Athens but the view on the way is wonderful. Dimitrois filled us in on things along the way. We stopped to eat at a local place - KYMA. Very good food with a view of the water. The Temple is a short walk from the parking lot and lots of areas to stand or sit to watch the sunset and take photos.

Amazing tour guide and driver - We couldn't have picked a more accommodating person to drive us to the beautiful coastline of Athens. We also went to dinner at Kyma. Dimitrius ordered a variety of delicious foods. We had the best time. Then we went to see the sunset at Lavriotiki. It was gorgeous!! Dimitrios picked us up at the main building so we didn't have to walk so far. I would definitely recommend Dimitrius Nitsolas!!

Transport Well Exceeded Our Expectations - Dimitris was amazing! Picked us up at the airport as planned and not only got us to where we were staying but was fun and offered suggestions along the way. Because he was so excellent we ended up taking a private ride to Poseidon’s Temple a couple evenings later. On our return back to Athens at the end of the trip he picked us up at the airport again, took us to our stay and took us to a highly recommended restaurant. He far exceeded our family’s expectations and made our travel much easier and more enjoyable in his Mercedes van.

post cruise tour of the Cape of Sounion, Poseidon’s Temple and more - Stelios’s tour of the southern coast of Athens to the Temple of Poseidon was awesome. We had a bonus lunch with Stelios at a great restaurant on the way back to Athens city center. We also had Stelios’s service to go to the cruise terminal and to and from the airport. He was very professional and really enjoys what he does. I would recommend him to anyone traveling to the Athens area.

My husband and I loved... - My husband and I loved this experience! We did not rent a car while staying in Atnens so this was a great way to see the coast and the Temple of Poseidon. Our guide, Stelios, was so kind and told us a lot about the area. We also stopped for a seafood dinner that was incredible. The Temple of Poseidon is definitely a must see. The sunset and views are incredible at this archeological site! I highly recommend this tour!

A tour worth every penny. Zero regrets- would book again! - Great service recieved from Dimitris. He picked us from the airport (both ways) and sorted out our tour for two days. We enjoyed our two days of site seeing and tasting authentic Greek cuisine. We would highly recommend and book again for another trip. Cherry on top he is very very funny so the whole tour is full of good laughs while learning the history of Greece.
