Cape Sounio And Temple Of Poseidon Private Trip From Athens

Spiro was a wonderful driver, super kind, calm and patient. Great service, fast no hassle and great communication. I recommend.

Since 2005, I and my family have had three different trips to Greece and we have used Athens Taxi Wagon, as we have never found a better service. We were heading on a cruise from Piraeus (October 2025) and we spent a few days in Athens both before and after. We wanted something to combine transfers with sightseeing and booked a five hour Cape Sounio tour with pickup from our Athens hotel and drop off at the cruise terminal. We hence made the most of our available time. Upon returned from the cruise, we were picked up directly from the port, enjoyed a full day trip to Delphi before being taken back to our hotel in Athens. The driver was Alexis and we appreciate that he even watched over our luggage while we explored. The archaeological sites were amazing. A local made the experience so much more meaningful by us talking about everyday life in Greece, history and culture. At the end of our stay, Alexis also arranged our early morning airport transfer at 5 am. As always, everything was on time, comfortable, and smooth. We have used private transfer and tour services in several other countries over the years, and I can confidently say that Athens Taxi Wagon stands out above them all. If you are looking for reliability, warmth, and a truly memorable experience in Greece, this is the company to go for.

The experience with Athens Taxi Wagon on our tour of Athens and Cape Sounio was smooth and well organized. Alexis was the driver and he was outstanding, because from the very beginning, everything felt easy as he knew the city and timed each stop so we avoided the crowds. We appreciate that he made sure we saw every important highlight without being hurried. He has a passion for Athens and shared history, local insights, and local stories along the way that made us connect with the places. It never felt like a scripted tour, but it was rather like exploring with someone who enjoys what he does. We were a bit unsure at first because we booked this independently (not through our cruise line). However, once we started off, we felt relaxed and looked forward to how it goes. Our experience was far better than any cruise excursion we have done. During a short stop Alexis surprised us with coffee, and later he recommended and took us to a nice local eatery for lunch. We even got to see the fresh fish of the day and choose our own. The meal was simple, fresh and we enjoyed it. If you are visiting Athens, and book with Athens Taxi Wagon, getting Alexis as your driver, would make this trip memorable.

We were looking for an escape the city for a while, so we booked a half day tour to Cape Sounio with Athens Taxi Wagon and we enjoyed a relaxed drive along the Athens Riviera before reaching the Temple of Poseidon. It turned out to be a good choice fur us and what we expected. Our driver, Alexis,arrived at our hotel (Divani Acropolis) on time and welcomed us with a smile. From the very beginning, we felt quite comfortable. He was not just friendly and easy to talk to, but also full of fascinating stories about local history. But, above all, a safe and confident driver. We were searching for a special gift for our grandson back home, and Alexis went out of his way to help us. He happily stopped at a couple of kiosks and even took extra time to save the addresses of two shops on my husband’s phone that he thought might have exactly what we were looking for. Thanks to his help, we found the perfect gift. The booking process with Athens Taxi Wagon was smooth, simple, and easy. Everything we should know was clear and it was well organized from start to finish. We already know that when we return to Greece, we will use their services again. We are especially excited about the idea of a two day Peloponnese tour, and we now hope Alexis will be our driver again because he made the experience so memorable. On a lighter note, we also spent part of the drive back chatting about NBA basketball. I still owe Alexis an apology that my Boston Celtics beat his Giannis recently, but after getting to know him and seeing what a genuinely wonderful person he is, I found myself quietly cheering for his team too. Do not hesitate for a second to book a tour or transfer with Athens Taxi Wagon. You will be well attended to and you will not be disappointed.

Alexis is the best! My family and I did multiple trips with him and we had the best time! He was prompt and professional. We were entertained the whole time too! I highly recommend using him! He also educated us on all of the different areas of Athens.

The most interesting experience ever. Alexis is a very kind person and knows very well the history of Greece. Recommended.

Alexis our driver was incredible - he gave us so much information- took us to a wonderful place for dinner and showed us great sites along the way. It was a truly spiritual experience seeing the sunset at Poseidon temple. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before l. Definitely do this trip and request Alexis as your driver

"We had an unforgettable private tour to the Temple of Poseidon and Cape Sounio with our fantastic guide and driver Alexis. Not only was he knowledgeable, but his humor and warmth made the experience even more enjoyable. He shared fascinating stories that brought history to life. We drive through the Riviera and many small beach towns. A quick stop at the beautiful Lake Vouliagmeni and then we were ready for the perfect sunset time at the Temple of Poseidon. Alexis treated us to an amazing memorable dinner at a traditional Greek taverna, where they graciously prepared delicious vegetarian meals for us, even around closing time. We now know who to call next time we are in Greece. Traveling to places is all about making memories and we mad a memorable evening thanks to Alexis. Highly recommend this tour and our awesome guide Alexis for a perfect blend of culture, history, culinary delights and picture perfect locations.

We've used Alex a number of times before and keep coming back because he's the best! Unfortunately this time he was sick but Christos was an excellent substitute. We enjoyed the tour and he took us to the best restaurant for lunch - off the beaten track with delicious and generous servings. Driving was excellent and he was fun and informative. Alex is easy to communicate with, flexible on itineraries and always helpful and kind.

Alexis and his team are absolutely fantastic to ride with. Always so safe and nice cars, you feel so safe, this summer we have gone many times with Alexis and his team, they are so sympathetic and nice. Would Highly Recommend Them when going from the Airport and also going around Athens, Greetings, Carina from Stockholm

Our trip to Athens was made many times more awesome because we booked a taxi from Alexis. Not a single dull moment around him. Knowledgeable across not just touristy stuff but in general across a vast genre of things, he was full of rich, fun stories, superb recommendations of places that define the phrase "hidden gems", amazing enthusiasm for clicking pictures(matched mine, and that's saying something) and of course great car and drive. We had booked two day trips, one to delphi and the other to cape sounion and they both were amazing. Alexis goes above and beyond and we are still enjoying his recommendations while on the rest of our trips in completely other islands where there's no commercial arrangement with him- just friendship and a big heart 💕 Totally recommend.

My husband and I had a great trip to Temple of Poseidon with Alexis from Athens Taxi Wagon. Alexis is so knowledgeable. He is very familiar with the sites in Greece. On the way to the Temple, we stopped for a nice dinner in a small village. At the Temple, he told us exactly what to do to maximize our time there. After the Temple closed, he showed us another area on site that we could walk to for a good picture. He never rushed us. I highly recommend using Athens Taxi Wagon and Alexis for any of the tours/services he offers.

Alex was a wonderful guide for our party of four, providing a very comfortable ride and interesting background on the history and traditions of Greece, specifically relating to Athens the area north of of the city. We stopped at sights along the way to the Temple of Poseidon and enjoyed lively conversation as we traveled. Especially interesting and fun were stops at Lake Vouliagmeni, an amazing natural hot springs lake where fresh and sea water mix; and lunch at a local fishing village restaurant. We were fascinated by the beauty and lovely spa facilities at Lake Vouliagmeni and would like to return there for a longer stay. At lunch we sampled regional dishes and excellent fresh fish. A true taste of local taste and color! Alex made certain that we reached the Temple of Poseidon before sunset so we could fully experience the beauty of the ruins and the stunning hilltop location as the sun went down. We returned to our hotel in Athens within the timeframe promised after an amazing afternoon touring the coastline. Thank you, Alex and Athens Taxi Wagon, for a wonderful experience of the culture and beauty of Greece!

We used Athens Taxi Wagons for our whole stay. Always on time, excellent service. Nice planning by Alexis and great driving by Georgios. Good choice to get around while in Athens/Greece.

Alexis and Spiros were good proud Greeks. We had a very memorable time with them and they went out of their way more than once to ensure that we were well taken care of.

Alexis was a fantastic driver and we were entertained, engaged in Greek history and culture, and had the opportunity to experience sights that were off the beaten track. We loved his personality and humour! Alexis was so fantastic we booked him to drive us to the airport when our trip ended. Alexis is now a dear friend and we will keep in touch.

He is very helpful and professional. He could support me what I need in Athens including PCR testing. Me and my family really enjoy the trip

Alexis was always spotlessly the car super clean and mineral water always on board.He took us from the airport to the hotel..the next day to Cape Sunion..has everything worked out great on the second day to Piraeus to the ship and will pick us up tomorrow in Pireaus and drive to the airport.He speaks fluent English is funny and I can only highly recommend him.Alexis again and again.Thank you!!!!!

Very good experience. The place is beautiful and the beach under the temple is very nice. We could. Get into the sea and eat by the beach.

I've dreamed of going to Greece since I was a kid. I love Greek culture, I really like the Greek mentality, the welcoming people, the very lifestyle of Greeks, their optimism and vitality. All of that can be said of Alexis. Alexis helped us discover Greece from a new perspective, to love it even more.

My dream came true: I visited Greece. Turned to Alexis, very pleased with the service. Everything was top level! Alexis, thank you so much! You're the best guide!
