Private Temple of Poseidon Tour with a Pickup

Perfect Day - 100% recommend this guide/driver

Took a 4 hour tour to the Temple of Poseidon amongst other stops en-route expertly driven and guided by Mr ilias kanteres who was EXCELLENT! Really friendly, safe and knowledgeable- super enjoyable time would recommend 100%(and I have been a travel professional n UK for over 20 years so have seen good and bad!)

Ilias 🔥

We had a very nice time in Athens, Ilias showed us some marvellous places! Highly recommend if you wish a well planned and organised trip!

Beautiful day exploring

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.

Wonderful trip while visiting Athens

5 Highly recommend this tour when in Athens. Ask for Kanteres Ilias for a driver. He is kind, personable, and accommodating! The best. Even if you only have a few days this is nice “change of pace” from the city. The drive is relaxing and beautiful. Stop for fresh caught fish for dinner along the coast at fish restaurant owned by four brothers. The best snapper we have ever eaten!

fun, memorable trip. great driver, guide

All the views of the Temple of Poseidon with Cape Sounion were remarkable. Great half day trip from Athens

Great Driver and Excellent 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.

Stop at a volcanic lake on way to Temple of Poseidon. Plenty of time to wander around the Temple. Pleasant and capable driver.

Beautiful visit with a professional, knowledgeable and great tour guide.

My partner and I contemplated taking the group bus tour for the Temple of Poseidon due to price and ease. However after reading mixed reviews about bus tours we were unsure. The reviews related to 15:00 starts but actually going across to multiple hotels for pickups, having a long wait times before setting off and returning, then being given limited time at the monument itself. So we proceeded with Ilias and the private tour. The price difference sounded quite large but actually was minimal in the grand scheme of things. The price for a bus tour was approx €85-100 with entry to the monument and the private tour costs what is displayed. The price at the temple is only €5 per person to enter, whilst the bus tours seemed to charge €10 per person. After doing the private tour we were not disappointed at all. Ilias had communication constantly and arrived at the exact time we agreed. He had a spacious air conditioned car and gave local inside knowledge along the entire route. We stopped at the geothermal lake and Ilias spoke about it's origins. From here we took the beautiful coastal route to the temple, arriving an hour + prior to the bus tours. We were able to look around the entire space and scenery with no limit on time or feeling rushed before a nice cruise back to the city and hotel. The tour was fully customisable, meaning we could spend more time at the lake and monument having arguably 1 hour more than the bus tours to take in the breath taking views and scenes. Ilias had great knowledge, professionalism, banter and was very courteous the entire trip. He gave great insights about ancient Greece and Greek life, checked if we were okay and happy throughout, offering us a drink, phone charger or WiFi in the car (even though we didn't want it because the scenery and views are better than my phone screen!). Overall we don't regret getting this tour at all even though it is slightly higher in price. The customisable nature, driver and experience we had made it totally worth it. Thanks again Ilias.

Private sight seeing tour Athens.

Great sight seeing and the most amazing views. Ilias picked us up from Piraeus Port and as we had a few hours to fill in he suggested this trip. We loved it. Ilias was knowledgeable friendly and very easy to talk to. We highly recommend Ilias, Welcome pickups and this tour.

Trip to the Temple of Poseidon

This is my first visit to Greece & I loved Mother Nature and her beautiful gifts to Greece. Wow, what a trip it was to the Temple of Poseidon surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea and hills and a pleasant weather too. We had a good company in the form of Mr Ilias Kanteras and we had a good & memorable outing with his guided tour👍

Scenic seaside and a wonderful host!

Truly enjoyed our trip with Ilias to Vouliagmeni Lake, Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon. What a perfect last day of our vacation in Greece. Ilias is passionate about his country and its rich history and generously shared details of the areas we visited. It was a great way to see the beautiful seaside along our drive — something we would have totally missed out on if we hadn't met Ilias when we first booked our transfer from the airport to Piraeus. He is a true ambassador of Greece! 🇬🇷💙

Great Private tour

Great informative guide. Picked me up at cruise terminal right on time. We stopped at a lake which was a hot spring, let me stop to take pictures, No rushing lots of time to explore Temple of Posiden.

Temple of Poseidon with Ilias!! 💓💓

Ilias is just fantastic! We had a wonderful trip to the Temple of Poseidon. The views were amazing and Ilias’ knowledge of the area was incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed spending two days touring with Ilias. We left Greece feeling we had made a new friend!

Great half day tour to temple of Poseidon

Glykeria was our guide and she was fantastic. She promptly picked us up from our hotel and began our tour. Her luxury sedan was very well kept and clean inside. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and made great conversation during our tour. We never felt rushed during the tour and she also made accommodations for us to enjoy a fresh seafood meal on the water. Would definitely recommend this half-day trip with her.

Half day along the coast in Athens

Our trip started with a pickup from the airport where we had a half day to explore. Ilias included a very easy to follow video to guide us to the meeting point. We then drove to the Temple of Poseidon, followed by a lovely drive along the coast to a seaside lunch of fresh, delicious seafood. As the sun was setting we made a stop at the beautiful Vouliagmeni lake before taking us to our hotel. This was customized for the time we had as our last partial day back in Athens after 3 days in Santorini, and a late add to our last day after another lovely tour we had with Ilias earlier in the week.

Must See Day Trip from Athens

Highly recommend this tour to see the Temple of Poseidon! We also enjoyed a nice lunch by the sea and the beautiful drive down the Athenian coastline. Ilias is wonderful tour drive.

Fantastic Experience

What a fun and fantastic experience. The guide was accommodating to all of our questions and requests! It was amazing and my daughters now follow him on YouTube because they fell in love with Greece and want to discover more!

An experience worth every moment

The views are amazing. Took lots of photos, as stops gave you best views. Ilias, our guide, and driver, was so knowledgeable and informative. He told us of the history of the area. He took us to places to get authentic Greece food and see real Greek culture. He gave insight of best times to be in certain areas. He is proud of his heritage and it made me proud to me him and his country through his eyes.

Cap Sounion with Ilias

We had a great Time visiting Lake Viglouameni and Cap Sounion with Ilias. Ilias is very nice person, kind,friendly, warm as Greek people are. When we return to Athens, we will be happy to see him again and take an excursion with him. We highly recommand it.
