Dimitri was wonderful and gave us a very good tour. The food was good and he listened to what we asked him to do and did it.

Itinerary
Lake Vouliagmeni, located in the heart of the Athenian Riviera, is a natural wonder and one of Attica’s hidden treasures. Formed by geological forces thousands of years ago, the lake features crystal-clear, brackish waters constantly renewed by both the sea and underground thermal springs. Known for its unique microclimate and therapeutic properties, it offers a calm and picturesque setting surrounded by impressive rock formations and lush vegetation. This peaceful stop allows you to take photos, relax, and enjoy the natural beauty of the area, making it a refreshing highlight along the coastal route before continuing towards Cape Sounion.
Palaia Fokaia is a charming seaside village along the Athens Riviera, known for its relaxed atmosphere and authentic Greek character. Here, you have the opportunity to enjoy a traditional meal at a local seaside restaurant, where fresh seafood and classic Greek dishes are served with beautiful views of the Aegean Sea. This stop is more than just a meal — it is a chance to experience local flavors, hospitality, and the slower pace of coastal life. Whether you choose to dine, have a coffee, or simply relax by the water, this moment adds a genuine and memorable touch to your journey.
Perched dramatically on the cliffs of Cape Sounion, the Temple of Poseidon is one of the most iconic landmarks in Greece. Built in the 5th century BC and dedicated to the god of the sea, the temple offers spectacular panoramic views over the Aegean. This location has been admired since ancient times, even mentioned in Homer’s Odyssey, and continues to captivate visitors today. Visiting in the late afternoon allows you to experience one of the most breathtaking sunsets in Greece, as the sun slowly sets into the sea, illuminating the ancient columns with golden light. It is a truly unforgettable moment and the highlight of the entire experience.

This was an incredible tour! Many beautiful pictures and lots of great memories with our best friends. The sunset was amazing! Wonderful seaside dinner. Dimitris was excellent driver and so friendly , kept us updated on all arrangements and pick up times. He made the trip very interesting and was very helpful. Ask for him!!! This was one of the best tours we did in Athens.
Wonderful tour and gorgeous sunset at Poseidon’s Temple! John was a great driver and tour guide. Highly recommend!
Our tour to Poseidon’s temple with a stop for dinner in Athens was absolutely amazing. Our guide, Dimitris was very knowledgeable and told us stories of the area which included Greek history. He was funny, personable and spoke English extremely well. The drive along the coast was so beautiful. And the restaurant by the sea, where we ate was fantastic. I would have to say it was the best meal we had in Athens. By the end of the evening, Dimitris was family. We could not have asked for a better person to have spent our last evening in Athens with and I wholeheartedly recommend him, without hesitation, to everyone visiting Athens.
Stelios and his partner John delivered excellent service and recommendations for this excursion. On time, comfortable transportation, top notch location for dinner. Made this a super easy activity and well worth the trip for the fantastic temple visit.
If you are planning a trip to Sounio, look no further! Our experience at the Temple of Poseidon was absolutely magical, and a huge part of that was thanks to our driver, Stelios. Our Driver: Stelios was a true professional—incredibly polite, knowledgeable, and a fantastic, smooth driver. Throughout the ride, he shared fascinating stories and local tips, making the journey fly by. The Location: The Temple of Poseidon is breathtaking. The panoramic views of the endless Aegean Blue are unmatched; it’s a place filled with incredible energy and history. The Food: After our tour, Stelios took us to a traditional tavern nearby that was an absolute gem! We had amazing, authentic food made with fresh ingredients and genuine local flavors, completely away from the usual tourist traps. It was the perfect balance of history, relaxation, and delicious food. Stelios, thank you for everything—we can't wait for our next trip with you! Highly recommended!
I first booked Giannis for an airport transfer to my AirBnB in Athens. Knowing he'd be there to get me and my heavy luggage to the apartment was comforting since a transport strike was imminent. During the drive, he suggested a couple possible tours, including one to the Temple of Poseidon. Glad I took him up on the offer. He's was punctual, picked me up at the designated location, and provided some great information during the drive to the Temple and back. The trip was 1.5 hours one way. He patiently waited for me to peruse the site and take photos at my leisure. I'd highly recommend him and will use him again at the end of the month for a return trip to the airport.
Firstly, Stelios crafted a perfect excursion for our 5 hour layover in Athens. Stelios picked us up at Athens International, followed Incredible seaside meal and Cape Sounion
We had an amazing road trip experience in Attica that exceeded all our expectations. The route was perfectly planned, starting with a beautiful coastal drive, followed by a relaxing stop at Lake Vouliagmeni. We then enjoyed a delicious meal in Palaia Fokaia before ending the day with a breathtaking sunset at the Temple of Poseidon. The service itself was excellent, offering a smooth, comfortable, and well-paced experience that allowed us to fully enjoy each stop without any stress. Everything felt thoughtfully planned, making it easy to relax and take in the surroundings. Our driver, Dimitris, was truly exceptional. He was professional and friendly, providing helpful tips about our stay in Greece. His van was clean and comfortable, adding to the overall quality of the trip. Overall, this was an outstanding experience that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for such a wonderful day!
This tour was very well worth the drive. The drive is about 45 minutes - 1 hour from the center of Athens but the view on the way is wonderful. Dimitrois filled us in on things along the way. We stopped to eat at a local place - KYMA. Very good food with a view of the water. The Temple is a short walk from the parking lot and lots of areas to stand or sit to watch the sunset and take photos.
We couldn't have picked a more accommodating person to drive us to the beautiful coastline of Athens. We also went to dinner at Kyma. Dimitrius ordered a variety of delicious foods. We had the best time. Then we went to see the sunset at Lavriotiki. It was gorgeous!! Dimitrios picked us up at the main building so we didn't have to walk so far. I would definitely recommend Dimitrius Nitsolas!!
Dimitris was amazing! Picked us up at the airport as planned and not only got us to where we were staying but was fun and offered suggestions along the way. Because he was so excellent we ended up taking a private ride to Poseidon’s Temple a couple evenings later. On our return back to Athens at the end of the trip he picked us up at the airport again, took us to our stay and took us to a highly recommended restaurant. He far exceeded our family’s expectations and made our travel much easier and more enjoyable in his Mercedes van.
Stelios’s tour of the southern coast of Athens to the Temple of Poseidon was awesome. We had a bonus lunch with Stelios at a great restaurant on the way back to Athens city center. We also had Stelios’s service to go to the cruise terminal and to and from the airport. He was very professional and really enjoys what he does. I would recommend him to anyone traveling to the Athens area.
My husband and I loved this experience! We did not rent a car while staying in Atnens so this was a great way to see the coast and the Temple of Poseidon. Our guide, Stelios, was so kind and told us a lot about the area. We also stopped for a seafood dinner that was incredible. The Temple of Poseidon is definitely a must see. The sunset and views are incredible at this archeological site! I highly recommend this tour!
Great service recieved from Dimitris. He picked us from the airport (both ways) and sorted out our tour for two days. We enjoyed our two days of site seeing and tasting authentic Greek cuisine. We would highly recommend and book again for another trip. Cherry on top he is very very funny so the whole tour is full of good laughs while learning the history of Greece.
Jon was a brilliant host and driver he showed us so many sights on our journey which we would never have seen without him. Would recommend his services to anyone and would certainly use him again, we had a great day.
