Temple of Poseidon

    The Temple of Poseiden was absolutely phenomenal, but even more important, our driver, Nikos C. was fabulous! He was so knowledgeable and made the time fly! He explained the history and put what we were seeing in context. We also made a stop at the Sunken Lake, which is someplace we'd love to visit on our next trip to Athens. This is a not to be missed trip.

    Nikkos and Kostas took such great care of us! They were flexible to make sure our visit was perfect and truly made our day. We learned a lot from them about the areas we visited as well. We wish we had contacted them before our visit to work with them even more! Thank you!

    This tour was awesome! We booked a day trip from Athens to Vouliagmeni Lake and the Temple of Poseidon, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip. The car was super comfortable and clean, and the drive along the coast had some amazing views. We got to swim and relax at Vouliagmeni Lake (highly recommend!), and then we headed to the Temple of Poseidon just in time for the sunset – absolutely stunning. Our driver was so friendly and easy to talk to, plus he gave us cool little facts about the area along the way. The whole experience felt relaxed and stress-free. Would 100% do it again!

    I travel extensively around the world, I've used many private drivers and can honestly say that Nikos is truly the best driver in the industry! He gave excellent recommendations and we had the best conversations. He took such great care of us and we ended up requesting him for our other trips during our stay in Athens. He made us feel right at hone! Feels weird even calling him a driver because by the end he felt more like a friend. You never know what you're going to get when you order a driver online in a country you've never been to. Nikos is truly a gem and can't thank him enough for making our trip so memorable. Highly recommend!!!
