We enjoyed the transfer with a private driver from Athens to the Temple of Poseidon. The scenic route was beautiful. Nico was our driver and he was great! We also stopped for dinner with fresh seafood after visiting the temple and it was great.

Leisurely drive down the coast, lots of information along the way. Appropriate amount of time at the Temple with time to enjoy a drink at the cafe. On the way home, stopped at a beachfront seafood rustic restaurant for fabulous grilled fresh snapper. Overall a wonderful experience!
Niko is an outstanding tour guide.

Niko is a delightful young man. He is knowledgeable, interesting, patient and made an outstanding recommendation for dinner when we were on our way back to Athens. His van is comfortable and he's a great driver. Our party of 7 all highly recommend him.
Beautiful photo-op

The views of the Temple of Poseidon in the sunset are simply spectacular and Alex was great in insuring we got tickets before the arrival of the tour buses and that my wife got in a restroom stop. But what the tour description didn’t say is that we continue to have very nice views of the sunset afterward along a road that runs along the .water. The stop at a lake on the way to the temple made a nice break and a chance to stretch our legs. We opted to buy ourselves a late dinner at a restaurant on the water in the fishing village that was recommended by our driver and has a nice sea bream - with waiter intruding us to the fish before it was cooked.
Highly Recommend!

Alex was the best! Picked us up outside our hotel and was so knowledgeable about everything. We stopped at the geothermal lake, like others mentioned, but it was closed for a private event. The temple and coastal view were AMAZING! It was so worth the trip since we didn't have time on this visit to get to any islands. It gave us an insight into how beautiful Greece is. Didn't stay for sunset, because 3 tour busses showed up...too crowded. Instead we saw the sunset from the fish restaurant on the way home. Sea Bream - the best we had the whole trip, and a Greek salad. We enjoyed our conversation with Alex so much.
