It was a lovely drive out to the temple. The guide was very knowledgable. The site is great to see and worth the half day.

Amazing bus/tour ride along the Greek coast down to Sounion to see the Temple of Poseidon. The tour guide was fantastic, the bus driver was skilled and navigated the tour bus, professionally, and without incident. The bus itself was modern and beyond comfortable. It provided us exactly what we were looking for!

The scenic route was gorgeous, the lake, the sea, the water, wow! Air conditioned and comfortable ride. Be ready for the twist and turns though. It’s a little daunting seeing the sea so close to those turns. The guide was great! I was a little concerned based on the reviews but it was well worth the trip.
