Such a wonderful ride!
I didn't believe that the area of Athens and it's bigger province has such a huge wonderful Riviera !

The beach was always by our side and we took a look to some of the greatest points of view one can look at when he's in Greece.

I was so thrilled when we went to the beach !
We had enough time to take a swim but also drink our Fredo by the sea.
Astonishing beach!

Of course Nico told us such interesting stories about Greece that we thought we knew nothing about this country so far.!

Then we arrived at the Temple of Poseidon and God... The view.... So breathtaking .... And the sunset wonderful!

The good things come at the end they say...

Literally every food we tasted in that restaurant was so fresh !
Nico served us all and kept us engaged by explaining how the food is made in an entertaining way !

If I come to Athens again I would easily do it again !

The tour was excellent and provided a unique experience for visitors to see other parts of Greece that may have gone unnoticed. It was a great way to unwind and visit great spots at your own (the group's) pace! The beach we went to was breathtaking and was one of the best places I've visited during my time in Greece! Nikolas is fantastic at his job! He's very personable and outgoing - exactly someone you'd need to take you on a trip to new spots. He made sure to engage everyone in the conversation and provided us with the history behind the spots we went to, as well as indulging us with other stories and pieces of history. I went with my best friend and we met four other amazing and kind individuals - another highlight of the experience! Overall, the experience was great and I would recommend it

Perfect day, Niko was on time and an excellent driver. We stopped at a very secluded and beautiful beach for a swim, most relaxing and special. Then on to Sounio, as much time as we wanted at the site (which is stunning). Great way to get of the city for the day
As a solo female it felt very safe and learned a lot of greek mythology during this trip. I would absolutely recommend it.

Very very nice way to see the temple of Poseidon, and Nikolas is a very lovely guy and very good company. The tour includes a stop at the beach, which is truly lovely. There are also a few stops for views or to get coffee and use the bathroom, and Nikolas knew a nice spot to show us the lake. Overall, I'm very happy that I booked this because it's definitely something that I wouldn't have done on my own. My plan originally was to just rent a car, but that way I would miss out on the nice stories Nikolas has to share, and also the price for one person is so much worth it. It was indeed a great day.

Spectacular views
The best sunset that I've seen in Greece . Even better than the one in Santorini I dare to say .
Our guide Niko was very kind and thoughtful of his guests
His food recommendations were excellent
The beach is also hidden and out of the way, only a true local would know
Loved the relaxing time we spent there even though I didn't swim myself, the other guests seemed to enjoy the water a lot
Definitely worth doing if you have a spare day in Athens and wanna see more outside the city

We had a spectacular private tour with our family. It was a really great experience and so nice to get out of the city for the day.

Nikolas is a brilliant guide— patient, funny and extremely knowledgeable. He told so many excellent stories about the history and mythology of the places we visited, and introduced us to Greek shaken coffee.

I highly recommend reaching out for a private tour if you’re traveling with kids. It made the whole thing totally stress free.

We highly recommend this excursion

Nikolas was a fabulous host. My husband and mother and I couldn’t have enjoyed our tour of Greece more. Niko was gracious and knowledgeable. He brought us to places we would never found on our own. He told us stories of the history of Athens and the myths of the great gods and goddesses. He is an excellent communicator. Nikolas showed us hidden gems of the area, beaches, thermal lagoon, and Poseidon’s temple. He brought us to an excellent seafood restaurant and helped us choose fresh dishes with local flare. I would highly recommend a tour with Nikolas as it was the best in my two weeks in Greece. You will not be disappointed. I am definitely team Nikolas.

We loved our day trip! Beautiful sites, and Nikolas was very knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable. He is a very experienced host and made the experience very memorable. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone visiting Athens who wants to get out of the city for a while! Well worth your time and it was so nice to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city
Nikolas is a true hospitality professional that will make you feel so comfortable
The sights were also amazing
Loved the temple and the secluded beach were we could relax and enjoy the water
Plus the lunch bonus meal at the end was phenomenal!
