Scenic Drive & Sites @ Sounion

4.00The trip was a nice experience away from athens for an evening. The site itself at sounion is absolutely beautiful and the sunset was stunning. The only drawbacks were that the temple was very crowded in June which is unavoidable at most sites. Additionally, it would have been nice if the excursion included tickets or a drink/snack at the beach bar. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly which made the ride very pleasant.

Not enough time at the temple

4.00The tour guide and driver were excellent! The tour was just as described and the transportation was very comfortable. In my opinion, we could have spent more time at the temple by cutting out time from the two other stops. The sunset at the temple was the main attraction but we spent less that an hour there and had to pay a $20 entrance fee. If I were to book again, I would look for an itinerary that provided more time at the temple.
Sounion sunset

4.00It's a long ride to get to Sounion. We went on June 21, being the longest day, sunset was not until almost 9, getting us back to Athens after 10:30. The stop at a small beach town for food, and/or swim was pleasant. The guide provided historical and cultural information along the way. The temple at Sounion was crowded of course, but we were still able to get some nice photos, which it seems is why everyone goes there!
Delightful half-day trip!

5.00This was a delightful half day trip from Athens that included transportation, historical information from our friendly guide, beautiful stops and lots of information along the way. We thoroughly enjoyed the brief swim stop and were well aware that the food and entrance to the temple were not included. But so worth it! It was fun to meet other travelers on the 12 passenger Mercedes van as a bonus!
Worth the visit

4.00Overall a very good experience and beautiful sunset views. Maria did an amazing job to share some facts and information on Greece history. One suggestion instead of beach visit they can provide extented visit to Lake. Lake seems more intetesting than beach. Sunset visit to temple is absolutely worth it
Drive was lovely - price...

4.00Drive was lovely - price at Temple of Poseidon was ridiculous. Lunch stop at the beach was too crowded to enjoy the beach. Would have loved more commentary on the return drive through lovely residential areas.
Nice relaxing trip with great views

Fantastic day trip

5.00We had an amazing time! Our tour leader Georgia was outstanding and made the experience phenomenal. She engaged the entire group during her explanations using her charisma and detailed knowledge of the city and landmarks. The fair was reasonable considering the extra stops at the beach and the sunken lake which broke up the evening nicely. Beware the restaurant staff at the beach, be prepared to sit far from the restaurant if you bring your own snacks. They're nice about it but theres 0 tolerance for it even if you buy a drink from them.
