Take your own postcard-perfect snaps of Cape Sounion's Temple of Poseidon on a scenic afternoon trip from Athens. Cape Sounion is only 45 miles (70 kilometers) from Athens, making it the perfect lazy afternoon destination.

The coach was quite comfortable and our guide was very knowledgeable. Good tour. As a bonus, we saw a tortoise and a mama partridge with her babies.

Nothing more to say. It's all in the description.
Beautiful excursion to discover the temple of Poseidon.
Friendly guide.

As a review I wanted to break down each element to help others:
1. Collection: Lots of choices on the website and we selected a local collection point. Chats arrived on time as stated and was a very easy process.
2. Coach & Trip: It is a long trip (hour and a half) but the coach was very comfortable and clean. The ride was very smooth. I would say sit on the right side of the coach on the way out of Athens as you get to see more of the scenery. Just be warned on the way back you could be stuck in traffic.
3. Tour Guide: Our guide was excellent. She explained different landmarks on both legs of the journey as well as historical information. At the temple she talked us through the location before leaving us to do our own thing. She was knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour.
4. The Temple: Fantastic and beautiful. Just be warned you will be there between 30-45 minutes before heading back. Still this was plenty of time.
5. Drop Off: If you want to be dropped off in central Athens they are happy to do this and they are very accommodating.
Overall: Absolutely fantastic experience and great guide.

Long drive on a windy day. Takes about 5 minutes to see the temple. The group was nice and small. Great views - but that’s not uncommon in Greece. At least there is a cafe.

Absolutely a must! Anngelina our Tour guide was outstanding, warm, friendly, fun, knowledgeable, a wonderful communicator! On travelling over she gave a great potted history of Greek legends, Greek history, for me an unexpected pleasurable bonus. Our driver was exactly as described, professional and safe. We 1st visited an ancient theatre, but the Temple of Poseidon and sunset was SPECTACULAR, and I would add every photographers (professional or amateur) dream experience. I think we were extra lucky due to the clouds further enhancing the sunset! Highly recommend!

It’s a long trip just to see a temple that whilst in a spectacular location, is not that impressive in itself. The drive there is effectively through lots of residential areas with the sea on one side and nothing else if not me to see on the way. Really odd and I think misleading that we had little free time there and left before sunset which is the best time to be there, plus it meant we got stuck in the evening rush hour traffic and got back late. I’d choose another tour.

Nice trip along the coast to cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon.
However the tour guide was not very engaged with the patrons while in transit to the site.

If interested in cultural and historical sites, this is definitely one of the places to go. It was a great experience for me. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends.

Long drive for very little to see - have done much better value tours … I’d like to see more included for the price
