We had a terrific time...

Shawn_M, Jun 2026

We had a terrific time with Theodor going to Poseidon's Temple today! From pickup to drop off he was very friendly, curteous, super-informative, and he graciously answered every question we threw at him along the way. We were both very pleased with our experience and would happily book another tour with Viator in the future!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great experience visiting the Temple of Poseidon with Theodor. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. Thank you for choosing us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another tour in Greece!

Good half day excursion

Manuel_S, Jul 2025

Our tour guide, Giannis, was awesome and very flexible. He drives carefully and we always felt safe. The temple is nice and in a wonderful location. The drive to get there is a bit long but with nice views along the coastline. It’s worth the trip if you have a few days in Athens.

Cape Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon

Swayra_G, Jun 2025

The trip was amazing and our guide John was very knowledgeable and friendly. We got to spend a lot of time at the temple and we even got to see the lake, so that was pretty. The drive to the site was beautiful, and would highly recommend this tour!

Beautiful views and...

Beautiful views and scenery Our driver “Johnny” was the best source of information and had a great sense of humor for our crazy group

A perfect day to visit the Temple above the sea

LUIZ_C, Jun 2025

Both the lake and the Temple of Poseidon provided beautiful experiences. The day was beautiful and the pictures were fantastic. Only the entrance to the archaeological site that didn't have to be so expensive... A special thanks to Johnnie, who guided us through the tour and shared the stories behind the places we visited.
