Our time with Ilias was absolutely amazing. His knowledge of the surroundings and his kind and charming personality made this sight seeing the perfect way to end our time in Athens!

Wonderful day with Ilias! He met us when our cruise returned to Piraeus, we drove along the Athenian Riviera to a beautiful natural lake, saw the Temple of Poseidon, which is
a treasure, had a wonderful lunch sitting by the Aegean Sea and returned us to our hotel for check-in. A perfect day. Thank you, Ilias!

Perfect excursion from our cruise ship. We skipped the crowds and arrived early to the Temple of Poseidon. This site was accessible with few steps, and a beautiful location. Ilias, our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and communication was excellent. No problems connecting from our ship. We loved the ability to customize our tour. Highly recommend!

Nice drive in the countryside. Good food. Very relaxing way to get out of the city. The Temple itself is pretty but basic. Enjoyed the lake and a swim. Had a wonderful day. Driver was excellent

I had a wonderful morning on the Private Temple of Poseidon Tour. Everything went exactly as described—smooth pickup, beautiful drive along the coast, and just the right amount of time at the temple. A special thank you to Eirini, who was incredibly friendly, kind, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable with her warmth and knowledge. Highly recommend this tour for a relaxed and scenic escape from Athens!

This tour was great. Our driver Ilias tailored the time at the Temple and lake to our needs. He didn't rush us at all and he even picked us up from the cruise terminal and saved us getting a taxi to the Hotel. We had plenty of time to have a meal with views to the Temple of Poseidon. After the tour, he dropped us off at the Hotel.

Ilias is a wonderful guide for your trip. He took us to Lake Vouliagmeni. It is a beautiful place where we went for a swim. Very unique experience. Then on to the Temple of Poseidon to explore. Ilias was showing and explaining many nice points of interest along our travels of the scenic coastline. Last stop was a perfect lunch spot where we enjoyed the fresh catch of the day, red snapper. Amazing views on the water. We definitely recommend this tour.

During the trip to Poseidon’s temple, there were many things to see, such as the beautiful coastal areas, the lake, and the vast amount of islands off the coast of Greece. Our driver, Elias, has gone out of his way to make sure that our tour was as enjoyable as possible. He will not hesitate with answering our questions, would constantly ask if we wanted to stop and take pictures, and even tried to find a spot where we can take pictures of the lake during the sunset when the main road was blocked by a festival. Thank you Elias for making this trip a lifelong memory.
