Acropolis
Admission not included60 min
The Acropolis of Athens is the most important ancient monument in Greece and a symbol of classical civilization.
The site has been inhabited since prehistoric times, but it reached its peak during the 5th century BC, the Golden Age of Athens under the leadership of Pericles. After the Persian destruction of Athens in 480 BC, a massive rebuilding program was launched, resulting in the construction of the monuments we see today.
The most famous building on the Acropolis is the Parthenon, a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena Parthenos, protector of the city. It was designed by the architects Iktinos and Kallikrates, with sculptures supervised by Phidias.
Other important monuments include the Erechtheion, famous for its Caryatids, the Temple of Athena Nike, and the monumental entrance known as the Propylaea.
Today, the Acropolis is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the most visited archaeological sites in the world, representing the cultural and historical legacy of ancient Greece.

Great way to see Greece
Great experience outside of the city. Our driver was knowledgeable and entertaining. The stop at the lake was great. The sunset was disappointing, would recommend seeing midday.

Had a fun trip with...
Had a fun trip with friends. Our driver was friendly and a good driver :o). I would suggest that you ask what stops will be made prior to the trip and decide if you want to bypass them. We could have skipped one stop to have more time swimming after dinner and before heading up to see sunset.
Dinner can take a while (and worth it- very delicious). The entry line is long so maybe purchase tickets ahead of time.
The sunset was gorgeous! If you are female- go to the bathroom before sunset or you will be waiting in line to go. No line for men’s toilets so women finally started using both bathrooms.
We are glad we did this outing.

Good experience for family of 6 to see temple of Poseidon and sunset
Scenic route along the coast abs relaxing half day tour. You can do everything in your own pace. We had two elderly with us and it is fine for them. They can also sit at the cafe if they cannot climb the slope. Admissions fee was 20 euro per person. Experience with the sunset was nice. Opportunity to click pictures or just enjoy the view. It was not so crowded on June 19th. The staff was nice. Since it is private tour in the way back you can make a stop if you are hungry or something. Theodor was very friendly and nice. He gave some details along the way. If you want the full guided experience you should hire a licensed guide. But it is much more expensive. If you are okay with the basic details then driver guide is fine. The pricing from yomadic was good value for money and cheaper than alternatives.
Operator response
Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review!
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the scenic coastal drive, the beautiful sunset experience, and the flexibility of the tour. It is especially rewarding to know that Theodore helped make the journey enjoyable and comfortable for your group.

Relaxing Day Sunio and Lake Voulegmeni
This was an amazing day. Honestly, we didnt expect it to be so amazing after seeing almost all of Greece that you can see. But, the views are in fact amazing. The temple is a quick and easy site visit, while the thermal lake at Voulegmeni, was such a fun and relaxing day. The water is beautiful, perfect temperature, and well maintained with trash rules and sun screen rules. I especially enjoyed the little fish taking care of my feet! I should also mention how well the Chris our driver took care of us. He is very knowledgeable about all things Greece and all things history. He is even well versed in how it all fits together with the rest of the world both ancient history and mythology. He is always easy to get ahold of and makes sure that you are happy! We made sure to request Chris for every trip we took!

Personalized, private tour to Temple of Poseidon
We loved our trip to The Temple of Poseidon, just outside the city of Athens. Our driver spoke very good English, answered all of our questions and narrated just enough! At the end of our tour, he allowed us to stop and eat at a local restaurant that was amazing… fresh fish that had just been caught.
The van was large, comfortable and very clean. I highly recommend this company, tour, and ask for the driver by the name of Theodore. He was fantastic and made our trip so nice.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great experience visiting the Temple of Poseidon.
It’s fantastic to know that Theodore’s knowledge, communication, and balance in guiding made the tour so enjoyable. We’re also glad you appreciated the comfort of the vehicle and the special stop for fresh local seafood—those moments truly make the experience unique.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again for another memorable tour!

Fantastic Trip to Temple of Poseidon!
Theo was a FANTASTIC tour driver and very knowledgeable about the areas. He was witty and spoke wonderful English. In addition to a fantastic trip through the Athenian Riviera to the Temple of Poseidon, he was kind enough to take us to a wonderful seaside cafe for a fabulous dinner of fresh sea bass, wonderful hosts and a beautiful sunset at Four Brothers. 100% recommend this adventure! Ask for Theodore!

Great for families!
Great time on the trip to Cape Sounion! Alex and Alexander were amazing and we were so happy for another lovely trip with them. They are great for families and even let the kids DJ on the drive haha! It was a curvy ride, so you if get motion sickness- let them know! Very comfortable and beautiful drive out otherwise. They will help you to get comfortable. The price to get into the cape Sounion is worth it. The views are amazing! We also had a nice spot for sunset. Thank you again!

Greek myths on the way to sunset at Sounion
The trip exceeded our expectations despite the fact we did not make it to the temple which was closed earlier. Our guide Christos filled the time with Greek mythology stories which we loved and stopped several times to show us interesting spots.
