Beautiful ride up to Temple of Poseidon. Our guide Kat gave us interesting information on the ride up. The cost to go up to the temple was expensive for what it was but still interesting to see the temple and the views.
Bus tour was very good, but disappointing that you're not allowed to walk through the temple of Poseidon after paying 20 euros per person.
Kat was a great tour guide! Just be advised that you’re spending 3+ hours total in a bus (with amazing scenery) for 1 hr at a small site.
Pleasant bus ride with a very beautiful view. At the destination, unfortunately, there was not much to see except for the temple, for which an entrance fee was required if one wanted to visit it up close. We had only one stop instead of two as announced. Otherwise, everything was fine.
The travel there was good but the time to enjoy the sunset is too short. Arrived 6.30pm Sundown was 8.38pm and we had to be back in the car park for 8.45pm. 7 minutes to get from top of hill is insufficient if you want the sunset.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the journey to Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon. The coastal drive along the Athenian Riviera is one of the highlights of the excursion, and we're glad it contributed positively to your experience. We also appreciate your comments regarding the timing around sunset. Our sunset tour is designed to allow guests to experience the temple and enjoy the sunset while ensuring a timely and safe return to Athens for all participants. The departure time from the site is carefully planned based on seasonal sunset hours, traffic conditions, and the overall schedule of the excursion. While we understand that some guests would enjoy additional time after sunset, extending the stay at the site would significantly delay the return journey for the entire group. The meeting time is also established to ensure that all guests can return comfortably and on schedule. We are grateful for your feedback and pleased that you had the opportunity to witness the beauty of Cape Sounion. We hope to welcome you again on another KeyTours experience in the future. Kind regards, The KeyTours Team
Great experience. Enjoyed the bus ride (large bus with lots of space to get comfortable). Guide was knowledgeable without being overbearing. Gave good info but also didn’t overtalk. The temple was amazing and an hour was a sufficient amount of time to spend walking around. Overall my wife and I found it relaxing and enjoyable.
