We had a fantastic tour of Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon. Our guide/driver, Apostolis (Tolis), was fantastic and really made it a memorable trip for our family. We were worried about the drive given we have young children but it was a comfortable trip and we were given as much time as we needed at the sites. Would definitely recommend!

We had a great trip to Cape Sounion and Temple of Poseidon. We had just arrived in Athens and arranged for Tolis to pick us up and take us directly their. It was a great trip and wonderful way to begin our Greek holiday. Tolis recommended a wonderful seaside restaurant for lunch run by a lovely family. There we were, having lunch on the sea with the view of the Temple of Poseidon behind us. Truly a great day! Thank you, Tolis!!
