Sunset - Temple of Poseidon Half Day Private Tour

Tour and transfer

So we did the tour when we got off the cruise ship while waiting for hotel. The coastal drive was beautiful. We also booked transportation to the airport and both parts of the journey were very well managed. I would definitely recommend them.

sunset experience

ıIt is one of the best tour to see the seaside of Athens and have a romantic sunset at ruins of temple of Poseidon. Our driver also recommended us a nice family seafood restaurant after the sunset

Temple of Poseidon

Spivos, The tour guide in Athens provided exceptional service, showcasing extensive knowledge of Greek history and culture. His enthusiasm and engaging storytelling truly enhanced the experience, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. Highly recommend for an insightful exploration of Athens. He was very flexible with our schedule and time which made us feel comfortable and warm.

Sunio visit

This trip was extremely satisfying and memorable, especially with Hilias our tour guide and driver! Stunning views of the Poseidon temple and sunset made even more spectacular 🤗- loved every moment.

Great sights with my great guide Manos.

An unbelievable day seeing the sites in Greece. Manos was my guide. He was very informative and personable. He was also great at getting to my various locations before they got busy. He made me feel very welcome to his country and want to spread the word to my friends and family about how awesome this place is. It may sound cheesy, but he started the day as my guide, but ended the day as my friend. I can’t recommend Manos and this trip enough!!

We had a very memorable...

We had a very memorable experience. Our guide was great and very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond. Would really recommend this experience

A must see sunset!

This was a great evening trip. Driving from Athens down the coast was delightful. It reminded me of driving the California coast to Big Sur. Our driver Alexander made this one of the best things we did while visiting Athens. He is extremely personable and very informative. We arrived at the Poseidon Palace with plenty of time to take in the history and view the site before sunset. We have seen many sunsets, in many places around the world. This is among the best. We followed this with a wonderful dinner waterside at the harbor below the Poseidon Palace. We will use Olive Sea Travel in our future excursions.

Sunset at Temple of Poseidon - Stunning view

Our tour guide, Nasos, drove us through the coastal towns outside of Athens. We enjoyed the local scenery and the beauty of the Aegean Sea, and stopped to take some pictures along the way. Even though, on that day, there were wild fires burning outside of Athens along our route, he made sure that we arrived to Temple of Poseidon safe with enough time to explore the historic site and watch the breathtaking sunset. We have to extend our gratitude to Nasos - he was constantly educating us about the surroundings and the endless history of Greece. You will not be disappointed with Nasos to be your guide.

Amazing experience

Alexander was really nice and welcoming. We learned a lot about Greece as a whole. We had a really eventful trip. Overall a great experience and I recommend this to anyone who wants to visit the Temple of Poseidon.

Enjoy the Journey

For the final tour of our stay in Greece, we chose this private half-day tour that took us away from the hustle and bustle of Athens and onto a long drive to Cape Sounion. George, our guide, arrived early at our hotel. He was friendly and courteous and his knowledge of the history of the sites we visited was extensive. The coastal road drive was relaxing as we enjoyed the panoramic views and made a few stops to take some pictures. The Temple of Poseidon was a sight to behold! George patiently waited for us as we hiked to the top and shopped for souvenirs after. For lunch, George recommended a place that gave us a beautiful view of Cape Sounion and the temple. After multiple tours of Athens, Santorini, and Mykonos, this long drive along the coast was the perfect ending to our vacation. Thank you, George, for the journey.

Beautiful sunset. Aristotelis is an excellent guide

As mentioned earlier, my wife and I booked this private excursion while already on a city tour with Aristolelis. We appreciated the sea side views of Athens and the coast line drive was beautiful. The sunset views from the Temple of Poseidon were spectacular. We are in Santorini now and it's been cloudy, so I'm glad we had already seen a breath taking Greecian sunset. Thanks for an amazing, memorable day Aristotelis and Olive Sea Travel!!!

Sounion and Temple of Poseidon with Nasos

Wonderful tour. A spectacular drive along a very scenic coastline from Athens to the Temple of Poseidon to see the sunset. The sunset was gorgeous. Nasos, our driver, knows all the right spots for great scenery, he knows the history of the area, and he even knows the best places to stop for dinner.

Fantastic evening at Cape Sounion

Had another great day with Giannis, who is such a friendly gem and a great driver to Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon. Arrived about 15 minutes before the site stops selling tickets to visitors, which is roughly 30 mins before sunset. It's very, very windy and cold in winter, but it's all worth it. Views from every angle were magnificent and Giannis brought it to life with his great storytelling before we arrived at the site. Had dinner nearby at a place he recommended, and the food was really good, fresh, and reasonably priced. Another great chit chat on the way back made the 70 minute drive back to the city pass so fast. Do it in winter, it was free from crowds and you felt like you had the spot to yourself.

A beautiful sunset

This was a great shorter tour to see a beautiful sunset. I am definitely glad that we didnt leave athens before seeing the sunset at Cape Sounion. The temple of Poseidon was amazing to see and it also had some nice short hiking trails around the temple to explore while the sunset.

Thank you Aristotelis!

This was our second tour with Aristotelis for our group of 4. The previous day he provided a wonderful half-day tour of Athens. Aristotelis is very knowledgeable, personable , and accommodating to our needs and desires. On this half-day Poseidon tour he took us from the city center of Athens along the coast to the Temple of Poseidon. The drive was very picturesque and as he drove he described the related ancient history as well as interesting facts about villages we passed. At the temple ruins he directed us in right directions and pointed out where we should stand for the best views of the sunset. On the return route he helped us pick out a marvelous restaurant for a seafood dinner. We had a wonderful experience. Thank you Aristotelis!

Best part of Greece was our tour guide Aris

Guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable. Great sense of humor. Very accommodating. Had two different tours. Both were fun filled/ fact filled and showed us parts of Athens we did not expect to see. Extra special was guides knowledge of changing of the guard as he had been a soldier participating in the actual ceremony during his required military enlistment. We highly recommend olive sea tours and Aris if he is available

Wonderful tour by wonderful tour guide Petros!

Petros was such an amazing guide! He was very talkative, informative and engaging. He spoke to us about a wide variety of interesting topics which made the car ride fly by. We liked him so much that we booked another tour with him the next day! We would highly recommend Petros and Olive Sea Travel for all tours in Greece!

A Great Experience

We loved this tour. Our hosts, Panos and Fotis, made the experience even better with their commentary throughout the trip. They were prompt with the pickup, showed up in a brand new van, and timed the drive perfectly to arrive at the Temple of Poseidon just before sunset. It was a truly magical experience.

Great driver by the name of Dem took us on this wonderful trip!

My wife and I were visiting Athens and had a different tour booked for Poseidon that was cancelled last minute. Luckily we were able to book this tour and we're so happy we did! Dem, the driver, showed up at our hotel 5 minutes before the scheduled departure time and whisked us away to Poseidon along the coast of Greece with beautiful views. On the drive we had a great conversation about a lot of things ranging from the history of Greece, current events, and other things. It was never too much or too little conversation and we really enjoyed his company. Dem dropped us off at the top of the attraction although it was crazy busy due to this particular night being a full moon which meant free entry after 8:00 PM. We had about 2 hours to hang out, watch the sunset, and take lots of pictures; this ended up being just the right amount of time. Dem then picked us up precisely at the time he said he would and dropped us back at the hotel - he even gave us a nice postcard as a thank you! I'd recommend this tour for those people that want some privacy to go visit the beautiful Poseidon site.
