Overview of your Athens tour

As a native of the southern suburbs of Athens, I have spent my life living by the sea, and the coastline of my hometown holds a special place in my heart. My deep love for the sea is reflected in the joy I find in regularly driving along the stunning Athens Riviera. I can't help but admire the breathtaking views of the Saronic Gulf as I journey towards the southeastern tip of Attica, where the majestic Temple of Poseidon awaits our exploration. Let's embark together on an captivating journey from the vibrant centre of Athens to the awe-inspiring Temple of Poseidon in Sounio, Greece. Prepare to be captivated by the serene beauty of the sea, the coastal charm of Athens Riviera, and (afternoon departure) the mesmerizing sunset over the Saronic Gulf. This half day tour promises a perfect blend of ancient history, breathtaking landscapes, and the vibrant atmosphere of the Athens Riviera. The tour and its itinerary are customizable according to your interests or needs. Please contact me for more details.

We enjoyed a FABULOUS tour of the Athens Riviera and Cape Sounio/Temple of Poseidon with Jenny M. Our group was my wife, my daughter, and me. She picked us up at our rental apartment and we headed south out of Athens in her SUV. The drive was beautiful and we learned so much from Jenny. We made a couple of scenic stops along the way. The highlight of this tour is the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounio. We arrived with enough time to enjoy the site before taking in a gorgeous sunset. For the trip back to Athens we had pre-made a dinner reservation at one of the hotels along the Athens Riviera. Jenny was gracious enough to join us for that meal. This allowed us more time with her to learn about her life in Greece. Her English is perfect allowing for easy communication. We would absolutely book another tour with Jenny M. in Athens. We would recommend her without hesitation to our family and friends (even the picky ones with high expectations). She is a true professional. As an added endorsement, Jenny even used her connections to help arrange a large van for my daughter and a group of friends to travel from their apartment to the Athens airport as they departed Athens after studying there for a semester. Their program did not include transportation to the airport, and Jenny was kind enough to help coordinate this as a favor to us. That was truly above and beyond.

This was second tour with Jenny on this trip and so I will repeat that Jenny is a wonderful guide with tremendous knowledge and a great passion for her work. One of us is disabled and she went above and beyond to help make the tour as accessible as possible. This was an evening trip to Cape Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon which is a rather long but scenic drive from Athens. One thing to consider for this specific tour: We had a choice of watching sunset at the Temple or at a nearby beachside restaurant (which we opted for). The restaurant was only fair and the sunset was view was indirect. If we had to do it again, we would have opted to stay at the site until sunset and have dinner back in the city.

Jenny was so unbelievably knowledgeable about every aspect of Athens. She clearly has a passion for her country and shared all of it with us. We will never forget our special time with Jenny.

Jenny crafted a spectacular experience for us. We enjoyed this scenic tour of the Temple of Poseidon and Jenny made sure that we had the best tour possible. She was impressively communicative and flexible. Not only is she knowledgeable about the history and culture of Athens and Greece, she is kind and conscientious. I highly recommend this tour and hope to connect with Jenny again on a future trip.
