Sounio on the cliff today stand the ruins of the ancient temple of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. The temple of Poseidon was built between 444-440 BCE. It stands at about 60 metres above sea level and like other temples has a rectangular shape. There were 34 columns originally and there are 15 of these still standing today. The columns remaining are surprisingly well preserved considering the wind up on the headland and daily exposure to the elements. Flanked on three sides by the sea, it is easy to see why this spot was an excellent vantage point for spotting incoming ships. The peninsula juts right out into the sea – it is the last point of land a sailor can see on leaving and the first point of land visible on returning.The training and the knowledge of our drivers is unique, ready to offer their services,satisfying all your demands

I spent 17 days in Greece, we visited 5 islands, and this tour was one of my favorite parts of the entire trip. The Temple of Poseidon itself was magical to see up close and personal, but with the sunset aspect included it was beyond amazing. This was the least crowded ruin of all the ones we visited too! It was easy to get pictures without having any other tourist in the shot. Manos made the drive enjoyable by teaching us the I rich history of Athens and this site in particular. The dinner spot was delicious, it had a gorgeous view of the coast at night, and we had the entire place to ourself.
I cannot say enough good things about this tour- or any tour hosted by this group. I think we did 3 overall. 10/10

Manos and Ilias are great! We are fron the US (Arizona) got a taxi ride to and from the airport, to the Temple of Poseidon. The Temple of Poseidon was one of the best sunsets I have seen ever! Both are helpful and my nice to talk about Greece.
