Overview

Mobile ticket

Unlike large bus tours, our experience is designed for a small group of up to 10 guests, ensuring a relaxed, friendly, and personalized atmosphere. With fewer people, you’ll enjoy more flexibility, closer interaction with your guide, and the chance to truly connect with the stories and places you visit.

We don’t just drive you to the Temple of Poseidon, we make the journey part of the adventure. From the hidden beauty of Lake Vouliagmeni to the charming seaside villages and the relaxing stop at Cape Sounion Beach, every moment is carefully planned to capture the magic of the Athenian Riviera.

To finish, you’ll experience one of the most breathtaking sights in Greece the sunset from the Temple of Poseidon, where history, mythology, and nature come together in a view you’ll never forget.

This is not just a tour, it’s an intimate coastal escape, curated to feel more like traveling with friends than being on a tour bus.

Theo shared an incredible wealth of knowledge with us throughout the whole tour. Very comfortable mini bus and great recommendations for additional things to do while in Greece. Theo really made this tour! He was more than a driver and a guide - he was a generous host. Sunset by the Temple of Poseidon was stunning. Not overly crowded either which was a surprise. Generous amount of time given to enjoy the area before sunset.
Excellent tour!

Beautiful scenery. Theo our guide was great. A lot of knowledge and great sense of humor. Unfortunately it was a rainy day so missed the sunset but enjoyed it nonetheless.
Excellent tour guide.

Excellent tour and tour guide. We had 3 stops before Poseidon’s gate which was great, it really helped break up the journey. The tour guide was excellent, he was very knowledgable and went above and beyond to make our journey interesting and fun. He took great care of us from start to finish. The bus was very comfortable, it was a mini bus with 9 seats so it felt like a semi private tour. I would definitely reccommend a tour with Theo.

We took a trip to the Temple of Poseidon with the tour company “It’s a Greek to me”. It was an amazing trip to Sounion and the temple. Our tour guide, Theo, made the trip very educational, fun, and interesting. Theo had a great sense of humor but even more knowledge about Greece, Greek Cuisine, and Mythology. Great stops for photos and history. This half day trip is worth the time from Athens!
Worth the road trip

This was an AMAZING tour. Teddy is so knowledgeable and treated us like longtime friends. He was informative without being boring. He's also an incredibly safe driver (which usually isn't true haha) and was so kind to our 5 year old.

My husband (Bill) and I booked this adventure with the Tour Company “It’s All Greek to me” this week with some friends. We had the one of best tours of our Athens trip! Theo (Ted) was so knowledgeable about a variety of topics from Greek mythology to information about the culture, food, travel tips, etc in Athens. We learned so much from in this half day tour. Theo made the tour interesting, funny, and engaging. We have named it “Bill and Ted’s Excellent (Greek) Adventure”. I would highly recommend this tour company and especially this tour guide. So many fun moments and laughs along the way! Last words of advice, take his menu recommendations. They were the best!
Great time.
