Worth every penny! The directions were very clear and easy to get the bus. Saw the a Mycenae theater before getting to Sounio. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. Also at thhe temple of Poseidon you have free time to explore the sight and are not rushed. The sunset was worth it.

Great tour, definitely recommend it. Great views at the temple! Hint: when the sun goes down, put the temple between you and the sunset, this way you will have great photos.

È stata un'esperienza indimenticabile con la guida Dimitra e l'autista Yanes. Le informazioni approfondite sulla mitologia, storia e raperti archeologici accompagnano la visita del teatro e la mina d'argento vicino a Laurio. Poi susegue uno scenario mozzafiato nel sito di Capo Sunion dove vedi tramontare il sole dietro il Tempio di Poseidon. Al rientro consigli utili sulla vita serale/ locali tipici di Athene. Assolutamente consigliata.
