Nice last-stop tour before flying home!

5.00We had a number of hours to kill after disembarking from our cruise ship before flying home, so we decided to book this last tour of our trip once we were back in Athens. We met Melina, our driver, right at the cruise terminal and she was a very enthusiastic tour guide as we made our way down the coast. We chatted about Greek mythology all the way to Cape Sounion (she was surprised how much we knew!) and then spent some time at the Temple of Poseidon. Afterward, we were supposed to stop for lunch but a number of the restaurants we were looking at weren't open for lunch yet (it was only noon, haha) so we ended up cutting things a little short and she took us straight to the airport. It turned out fine, we had plenty of time to check in and have a quick lunch before flying home. Thank you for the stories and interesting conversation and making our last tour a nice one!
Stunning views & great...

5.00Stunning views & great company. Theo was both informative and entertaining. Despite unexpected traffic, he still got us the the Temple of Poseidon early enough to explore the site and still get a good spot to enjoy the incredible sunset.
All-around great day!

5.00We had a wonderful day with our guide, Dimitris, getting out of Athens and enjoying a drive up the coastline to the incredible Temple of Poseidon. Dimitris showed us all the best places to view the landscape and the ruins, gave us plenty of time to explore, and then recommended a really enjoyable Taverna for an authentic lunch. This was our last day in Greece after time in Athens and on a cruise, and it was a fantastic way to end our trip.
Great fun time
