Cape Sounio Temple of Poseidon & Athenian Riviera Tour(+swimming)
Description
What makes this experience unique is that we are about to enjoy it not in a typical " touristic" way, but the way greeks do it. SWIMMING AND GREEK LUNCH : as a local i know the best spots for food and swimming ( only few know): after the coffee break we will enjoy swimming at one of the best beaches in athens and then taste the delicious greek cuisine( fresh seafood or " souvlaki) at the best local tavernas.i was in the restaurant bussiness for years so i know the best tavernas in town. SOUNION TEMPLE OF THE POSEIDON: the second part of the experience, Temple of poseidon at Sounio, will amaze us for two reasons: firstly because of its architectural and historical uniqueness and secondly because it is located on an edge cliff , where you can see the aegean sea in front of you.The view of the aegean will become much more impressive during the sunset.ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE..i am looking forward to showing the beauties of greece.

We had a fantastic time! Konstantinos was a terrific guide. He was very passionate and knowledgeable about the history of Greece and Greek Mythology. He answered every question and provided a very personal and thorough tour of the area. The sunset and Temple of Poseidon were breathtaking. If you want a fantastic afternoon - book this tour with Konstantinos!
If I could give 100 stars on this website I would. Kostas was our guide and we had the best time ever - I’ve been to Athens many times but not the Greek riviera - you actually don’t feel like your in Athens you feel like your on an island. Kostas was very knowledgeable and accommodating he told us many things about the Greek culture and history which was fascinating. The bougatsa was delicious- we ventured into a quaint fishing village town of Kostas it was so beautiful. The Poseidon temple was stunning in the afternoon and the history to know before you visit is very important to appreciate this amazing temple. My husband fell ill from the long flight from Australia and Kostas was so gentle explaining he will take us to the pharmacy or the hospital whatever was required. We opted for the pharmacy and when Kostas dropped us off at the hotel he said If my husband needed anything to contact him. What a beautiful honest person - very rare. Thank you for a wonderful tour Kostas we really appreciated it. Julie & Rocc from Australia

Ermis was an excellent guide! Very knowledgeable. We had a great time! Would recommend at sunset...was Beautiful!!
Ermis was our tour guide today. He was very kind, knowledgeable and willing to answer all the questions our group had about what we were seeing and general questions about Greece as well. The stop for the pastry and coffee was wonderful as well as the choice for dinner/late lunch. All the stops were perfectly timed and I did not feel rushed. This was also the perfect amount of time for a tour. The temple was amazing and the swimming stop was great as well. This tour is a great choice for an excursion from the center of the city.
Trip was so amazing! The drive was gorgeous, the Bougatsa was delicious, the swim spot was super nice, and the temple at sunset was absolutely a must see! Our guide (Konstantinos) was so great- he was helpful, informative, interesting and so nice; one of our favourite guides. The van was comfortable. Would recommend this tour (particularly the sunset option) as a must do in Athens!
Magnificent experience Definitely a must-do The coastal road is very beautiful The duration of the stops is based on the feedback from the participants The temple site is simply magnificent with the sunset And all of this with our guide Eric, who shared every moment to make the tour even more magical
Fortis was a fabulous guide. The temple of Poseidon and the cape were amazing. The lunch Fortis took us to was great. I would highly recommend this excursion.
This was the best experience in Athens. Our guide, Eric was awesome. He went the extra mile to accommodate. After the sunset, he took us to eat and it was so relaxing, that we didn't want to leave. He truly made this an incredible tour. We will only take tours in Athens with him and his company. You walk away feeling you made a friend. BTW, the sunset was amazing also. Can't say enough about this tour. Don't go with anyone else.
One of the best experiences in Athens
