We had a wonderful time on this private tour through the seaside towns up to the Poseidon Temple for a glorious sunset! The driver was so accommodating and knowlegable of the area. He recommended a wonderful restaurant on the water, that was the best food we had in our 5 days in the Athens area! Highly recommend this tour!

Nikos was a wonderful guide and driver on the trip along the Athenian coast and to the T mole of Poseidon. He also found a lovely restaurant on the water for us to enjoy dinner. Great experience for our group of 6 family and friends!
Our family has a habit of ranking every facet of our trips...best location; best meal; best activity; best guide; etc. After 10 days in Greece on a boys trip (Athens, Santorini, and Corfu) and multiple tours....Maria is the undisputed champ (although Demetrios and his bike tour in Corfu almost had her beat)! Sure, the points of interest were amazing...the setting of the Temple of Poseidon yielded post card/Instagram quality shots for sure...but the real bang for your buck is finding a guide you immediately connect with and miss when it's time to say good-bye. That's Maria! Learned some new Greek phrases; taught her a couple English figures of speech as well. Great stuff! You won't be disappointed.
It was a great time, friendly and efficient! Explained sites along the way gave the history of things. Gives you time to take photos and just be at each location didn’t feel rushed at all.
We booked Pericles for our honeymoon and he was a fantastic tour guide! The ride was comfortable and he is extremely knowledgeable. There was ample time to see the temple and enjoy the stops. Will be recommending his company to everyone. The atmosphere for the ride was relaxed and professional. Will be booking with him again whenever we are back in Athens.
Amazing experience, we did have to pay for our ticket into the Temple of Poseidon site so it was 310€ for the two of us total (including the price of the tickets into the site) so thats ok, only an extra 20€ from the trip price. It was about a 4-5 hour trip, the drive was beautiful and our guide kept us informed and interested the whole time there and back! It wasn’t crowded, we went around 2:00pm and got back around 6:30pm, leaving right when the big crowds arrived! There is lots of information at hand on the plaques around the site so we got a little extra info even after our guide explained the history on the way up to the entrance! Its an excursion i would absolutely recommend! Would definitely book with Perclites again! Wish we had done it sooner in our trip!
Our guide was Perclites. He was a wealth of knowledge of the history and spots we stopped it along the way. Very engaging. Highly recommended!
This was our first free day in Athens prior to embarking on a 10 day cruise and it was absolutely splendid… Our driver and guide Periklis met us promptly at our hotel for pick up at 9:30 AM and drove us along the Athens coastline en route to the temple of Poseidon… The stops along the way, and the temple Poseidon were indeed interesting, but the best part of our trip was spending time with a wonderful, open and candid Greek, who shared so much about the history of his country, the people of Greece, the political climate/issues and anything we wanted to know about… we laughed, shared stories, stopped at a restaurant for the best calamari I've ever eaten in my life, and never felt rushed or pressured the entire day… we experienced more than a site seeing tour or journey to Poseidon… Today we made a new friend… Someone I would not hesitate to look up and visit with again on our next trip to Athens. . . This is what a vacation is all about.
Really enjoyed our drive to and from Cape Sounion with Pericles. Comfortable car for our family of 4. Some thoughtful touches such as bottled waters and umbrellas for us as well.
My husband went on this trip and Dimitrios was such an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable and friendly and great for conversation in general. He was happy to tailor the trip to our needs and really helpful. He also gave us some good recommendations for things to do and food to try. The temple, marina, and lake were all great spots and we had an excellent time. I would highly recommend this. Since we were there in October there was almost no one in any of the spots so we were able to get in and out and grab unobstructed pictures.
Kyriakos was excellent — kind, friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about all the sights. He made our journey smooth and enjoyable with his expert driving and insightful commentary. We truly appreciated having him take us to the Temple of Poseidon and beautiful sights along the way.
Dimitrios was a fabulous driver and tour guide! His knowledge of the area and his talks about the history of Greece were amazing! So glad he was our guide - we couldn’t have had a better leader than him!
Our driver, Dimitris, was exceptional! Punctual, courteous, and always attentive to our needs, he made the journey smooth and enjoyable. He shared fascinating insights about Eleusis, enhancing our experience without ever making us feel rushed. Dimitris also gave us fantastic recommendations for the rest of our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommended!
We had a great time, the tour was very informative. We enjoyed our time and made a few interesting stops along the way to the Temple.
I did two private tours with Makis — Delphi & Thermopylae and Athens Riviera & Temple of Poseidon — and both were amazing experiences. Makis was very professional, friendly, and shared great historical facts along the way. He also took lovely photos of me at the sites, which made the day even more special. Highly recommend touring with him!
Wonderful experience with Mr. Periklis. The pick-up is punctual and the car is very comfortable for this day trip. We highly recommend all the travellers to Athens to select his service. In a private tour, Mr. Periklis introduced the culture and history of Greece with enthusiasm. Thank you so much for the time and discussion we had about Greek culture and life. See you soon again! Big thank you! D&X from HKG
Great drive down the coast and had an amazing time with Dimitrios. Poseidon’s temple was an amazing site as well as lake vouliagmeni. Would highly recommend.
We had an excellent experience with Dimitrios, a genuine, authentic, and kind professional. He made the tour feel incredibly personalized, ensuring everything was safe, on time, and fun. One of the best tours we’ve ever had! Highly recommend it for anyone looking for an unforgettable experience.
Dimitris was punctual and made sure we had the most wonderful experience along the Athens Riviera and the Temple of Poseidon. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive to all our needs throughout the journey. Ask for Dimitris if you’re planning this tour! The Temple of Poseidon at sunset was breathtaking, and the scenic drive along the Riviera was equally memorable. Highly recommended for a luxurious and seamless experience!
This itinerary is a perfect blend of history, culture, and stunning natural landscapes. Flisvos Marina is a delightful stop with its impressive ancient Greek trireme and picturesque views—ideal for quick exploration and great photos. Lake Vouliagmeni is an unexpected gem, offering a serene atmosphere and fascinating natural beauty. The highlight, however, is the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounio. The breathtaking views and the ancient temple's grandeur make it an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Athens!
This tour was a perfect mix of history, nature, and unforgettable views. The drive along the Athenian Riviera was absolutely stunning, with the sparkling blue of the Aegean keeping us company. The highlight was, of course, the Temple of Poseidon. Perched on the cliff, it felt like stepping into another time. Our guide shared incredible stories about the temple’s history and its importance in Greek mythology, making the experience even more meaningful. Watching the sunset from Cape Sounio was magical—words don’t do it justice. It’s a sight you have to see to believe. This tour is a must for anyone visiting Athens. Highly recommended!
Dimitris brought the 4 of us from Athens to Sounio one evening in his comfortable vehicle. He was very good company, pointing out things and giving us useful information. He dropped us at the temple and returned for us after the magnificent sunset. The views were stunning and although it was busy there, it was possible to take some wonderful photos. We stopped off at a beautiful lake outside Athens on the return trip. We were very happy with this excursion and would highly recommend Dimitris as a driver and guide.
