Cape Sounio Temple of Poseidon & Athenian Riviera Tour(+swimming)

Overview

Mobile ticket

What makes this experience unique is that we are about to enjoy it not in a typical " touristic" way, but the way greeks do it.

SWIMMING AND GREEK LUNCH : as a local i know the best spots for food and swimming ( only few know): after the coffee break we will enjoy swimming at one of the best beaches in athens and then taste the delicious greek cuisine( fresh seafood or " souvlaki) at the best local tavernas.i was in the restaurant bussiness for years so i know the best tavernas in town.

SOUNION TEMPLE OF THE POSEIDON:

the second part of the experience, Temple of poseidon at Sounio, will amaze us for two reasons: firstly because of its architectural and historical uniqueness and secondly because it is located on an edge cliff , where you can see the aegean sea in front of you.The view of the aegean will become much more impressive during the sunset.ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE..i am looking forward to showing the beauties of greece.

This was such an amazing tour! Kostas picked us up from our hotel and took us all over the Riviera! It was so cool to get to hear all about the area and Greece from a local. We also loved the snacks and the beach stop. The Temple of Poseidon was breathtaking and the dinner at the end was delicious! Kostas was so amazing and we all felt like friends by the end of the day! 100000% recommend!
Great experience seeing...

The guide (Costa) makes the tour much more interesting for all the knowledge it carries and passes to the travelers.

This is a fantastic tour. Just go hungry. The food you will try is amazing. The dinner was so good. I over ordered (don't do that). Fotis is charming and knowledgeable and you feel like friends by end of Tour. Out of all the 10 days and multiple tours this was the best one.
Will NOT pickup at Cruise Port!

Booked this tour as a Shore Excursion with pickup and drop off at the Piraeus Port. The day before the tour the tour operator contacted me and asked if he could pick us up at "Piraeus Tower". After asking the question about the distance from the cruise terminal to the Piraeus Tower the operator stated that he would just pick us up at the cruise port as we originally requested and that we would be the only two on the tour. After we got off the ship to be picked up the operator called several times and said he was unable to locate us and then said he would not be able to get through the port gate to pick us up. I decided to ask him just to cancel this tour and give us a refund. He said it would be no problem but would have to talk to his boss. After several hours with no response I contacted Viator and explained the situation to which they reviewed and shortly refunded the tour cost.
