For those debating the merits of the Sounion extension, I found the juxtaposition between the urban density of the Acropolis and the coastal isolation of the temple of posiedon to be intellectually stimulating. Worth the tour if you want to see the best of Greece in one go without the stress of planning it yourself.
So much to learn and experience.

Seeing the ancient ruins standing high above the sea was impressive on it's own, but the real magic happened at sunset. I'll never forget this kind of lovely tour.
I came for the ruins.

After a day of amazing food and discussion, are you standing at the Temple of Poseidon, watching the sun set over the Aegean? I came to seethat kind of Greece. We strolled down to the temple of poseidon cafe for refreshmentsand a bite after touring the temple. Take a seat, chatted, observed the waves.
I finally get the obsession

It's a full day; it's a hike. The children, however, preferred the temple on the edge of the cliff to the Parthenon. Yes it's worth it to avoid navigating Greek traffic on my own. Absolutely.
We see a lot in a day

The journey to Cape Sounion was lovely, and Athens was fascinating without being hurried. The views at the end of the day made the Temple of Poseidon the high point for all of us.
Memorable Day!

I must admit that it essentially fulfilled our expectations. We anticipated a long day with lots of driving, lots of sightseeing, and a little chaos trying to keep everyone together before making our reservation. However, we had a relaxed, well organized day that delighted people of all ages.
Day with Good Company

Odysseas was perfect throughout, an easy-going person, always on time and definitely master of Athens’s geography. It wasn’t a scripted tour but more like being taken around by a local who takes delight in sharing his area. The cost was reasonable for a private arrangement. Not having to worry about taxis or public transport made the day very relaxing and we certainly felt we got what we paid for, especially with all the local knowledge Odysseas shared with us during the tour.
Worth every moment we spend.

I went on this Athens and Cape Sounion full day tour as a solo traveler and had a great time. Fair price for a whole day covering both Athens and Cape Sounion, considering transport and guidance. The weather was on our side, too clear sky, comfortable temperature, perfect for walking around, contemplating views.
We were blessed with right person

Such a great introduction to Greece! We were lucky enough to have Odysseas as our guide he gave us a lot of information on...well, everything, from mythology to archaeology. It was quite busy day since it was Thursday but we explore everything included in this tour. Again, big thanks to Odysseas.
Trust me you'll never regret!

Yes, it's a full DA commitment, but you see so much and the pace is managed so well. If you want the Parthenon and one of the best sunsets in Greer without having worry about anything, book this tour.
