All fantastic and amazing. Cape Sunio and Partenone with a personal driver preparated and friendly. Sunset with dinner in front the sea. Manos the best.
The experience was amazing! Panos was very knowledgeable about both the history and mythology. I had 2 daughters with me, 8 yo and 12 yo. He was able to keep them engaged. Of course the temple of Poseidon was an incredible site that was a must-see after the acropolis. On the way back he stopped at one of the villages and we had an amazing authentic Greek dinner at a restaurant on the sea with the waves lapping at the ground about 2 meters from my toes. This was our second tour with Panos and he takes extra time to get to know you and connect with you!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We're overjoyed that Panos made the tour both engaging and memorable for your family. We aim to provide unique and personalized moments like these for every guest.
Great trip. Terry was our driver and knows a ton about Greek history and the history of the area & temple specifically. He was very accommodating and made the tour very relaxing. We got lucky and had the temple to ourselves, it’s a very beautiful area and cool to see. As is the lake we stopped at on the way. When we come back to Greece there are other tours I want to do and we’ll be requesting Terry for them.
We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your trip and that Terry enriched your experience with his knowledge of Greek history. Thank you for sharing!
The drive along the coast to Poseidon’s Temple is a must do. We have dinner at the tavern by the bay looking at the Temple and watching the sunset. It was spectacular. Our driver Manos was the best!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the drive, the temple, and the sunset. We'll make sure to pass your kind words along to Manos!

This was a pleasant half day tour with amazing views of the coast along the way. Our driver, Manos, was a great host and made sure we stayed ahead of the crowds every step of the way. The Temple of Poseidon is a beautiful sight and being there as the sun set was beyond peaceful.
