Vasilis was a wonderful guide to the beautiful Temple of Poseidon. Athens was very busy celebrating Independence day so he suggested this drive down the coast. A lovely break from exploring the city. Highly recommend.

Let's enjoy the Athenian Riviera and the Temple of Poseidon
Overview of your Athens tour
Embarking on this journey was driven by my passion as an authentic local enthusiast, eager to introduce visitors to the rich tapestry of my homeland. I aim to showcase our magnificent monuments and offer a glimpse into the vibrant Greek culture. This exclusive private tour stands as the quintessential experience to witness one of the most awe-inspiring sunsets Greece has to offer! Our excursion begins with a leisurely drive along the scenic Athenian Riviera, taking in the beauty of Glyfada, Voula, and Varkiza. We will take a moment to explore the enchanting Vouliagmeni Lake, famous for its natural thermal waters. The journey's highlight is our arrival at the majestic Temple of Poseidon at Sounio, perched dramatically above the Aegean Sea. Here, we'll be captivated by the unparalleled beauty of the sunset, a truly incredible spectacle to behold! KINDLY NOTE: Should your group size vary, please reach out to me directly for a tailor-made tour.

We had a wonder day with Vasilis. We were coming off of a cruise and wanted to do something outside of Athens on the way to the airport. While we missed the sunset the scenic drive down and the views from the Temple were outstanding. Various was professional, courts and knowledgeable. His friendly approach put us at ease the entire day. We had a car for 6 as we had loads of luggage coming off the cruise. The Temple of Poseidon is a must see and kudos to Vasilis for getting us there before about a dozen busses! Next time we will go for the sunset. Would definitely recommend.

We had a great time watching the sunset from the temple of Poseidon thanks to our wonderful and safe driver Manos (aka Vasili). He was promo in picking us up, recommended a delightful seaside tavern for dinnner on the way and got us back to our Athens hotel right on schedule despite heavy traffic. It was great learning about the Greek riviera and countryside on the drive to the point and of course the sunset was spectacular.

Vasilis was terrific with everything - from communication with me, to creating a custom tour, to treating my clients to a great tour. I would definitely recommend Vasilis and plan to book with him again in the future!

The sunset tour to Cape Sounio was our second tour with Vasilis on our trip to Athens and we couldn’t have been happier to spend more time with him! The temple of Poseidon is truly spectacular as the sun sets providing an ever changing landscape and view. On the drive to the Cape, you will see a part of Athens that many visitors do not see made all the more interesting with Vasilis providing great commentary and insights along the way.
