We could have chosen the tourist spots by ourselves, but we didnt want to plan anything, and I think that was the right decision. Everything was already sorted transport, timing, stops so we just sat back and enjoyed the ride. The drive along the coast was really nice, especially around the Athenian Riviera. Lake Vouliagmeni was a cool stop, and Cape Sounion itself was the highlight. Honestly, being at the Temple of Poseidon and taking in the views there was the thing that made the whole trip. There was nothing that felt rushed, the group was small and laid, back, and the entire day felt like it could not have been any easier.

Yo, just got back from the Cape Sounion! The experience was straight fire, dude! We got to see the Temple of Poseidon perched on the cliff, overlooking the Aegian Sea - views were insane Admission fee was pretty chill, worth every penny. The tour lasted around few hours, perfect length to soak it all in without getting bored. Atmosphere was super chill, we were basically watching the sunset with a few other small groups, felt like it was just us tbh. Not too crowded, maybe like 10-15 ppl max, so it was pretty intimate.
Well worth it, especially Cape Sounion

The vibe the whole day was chill and friendly, a great plus for us as a couple travelers. We wasn't isolated at any moment, and a good proportion of the time spent with the guide and the free time to wander on my own was perfectly maintained. Nothing could be a better ending than witnessing the sunset at the Temple of Poseidon. The tour was A+ all the way, reasonable cost, and a very nice experience for the single tourist.
I believe you'll gain something..

Had really nice time on this tour, mainly thanks to Odysseas, who was just like an old friend of mine. His way of briefing about every landmark was absolute value. One small area for improvement: it would be nie to have a bit more time at the temple itself. Nothing major, but it would make the experience even smoother.
Intimate experience away from the crowds.

The highlight was definitely visiting the Temple of Poseidon. The ruins were incredible, and the view of the sunset over the Aegean Sea? Breathtaking. You can't really beat it. Big thanks to Odysseas for making it all so memorable.
Top Rated Service!

The drive along the Athens Riviera was scenic and comfortable, and by the time we reached the Temple of Poseidon the light was beautiful. At the site, Odysseas pointed out the best angles, helped with photos. The temple itself perched above the sea at sunset was breathtaking. Overall the itinerary felt fair, the price we paid matched the experience, and the guide & transport made a big difference in how easy and enjoyable it was.

The drive along the coast was beautiful and calm, and reaching the Temple of Poseidon just before sunset felt almost unreal. Watching the sky turn golden with her by my side was a memory I’ll always keep. The group size was small, so it never felt crowded, and everything was nicely paced. Simple, easy, and worth it.
Little thing to note

The ride to Cape Sounion followed the coast and the views were breathtaking. It's pretty cool once the sun sets. A light jacket or scarf makes a big difference in comfort.
Without a single glitch!

Jaw dropping beautiful. Rolling hills and sea views made me forget everything. By the time we reached the temple of Poseidon, the sun was sinking over the Aegan. It got chilly once the sun dipped, so make sure to bring something with you.
Right at the Edge of the World!

At Cape Souinion, standing near the ruins of the temple of Poseidon with the sun sliding into the sea behind it, it was kind of moment that makes everyday stress disappear. Still, such a peaceful and poetic way to let your day close.
