Definitely a worthwhile outing outside of Athens to a fabulous temple on the Grecian coast. Comfortable coach ride. Beautiful scenery.
Started on time Kennedy was knowledgeable took the semiconductor route made a few stops to take pictures Then went to the temple of Poseidon
On Suturday I had a great experience! I have visit Cape Sounion with a super comand of professionals - with the guide Anastasia Papageorgiou and with the driver Kennedi. Anastasia told ud a lot of information but in a comfotable rhytme. It was a pleasure to hear not only about ancient history, but also about everyday life of greeks, to hear super jokes from Kennedi and to drink coffee all together at thh Cape Sounion. Would like to visit another one tour!
It was by chance that I happened to be passing TAGAthen’s premises thinking of a tour I could manage on my own. I met the lovely Demos who told me all about the Sounion afternoon Tour. Timings couldn’t have been better as I was taking a late evening flight home and I was really keen to see the Temple of Poseidon. The tour was small - just the 6 of us, + Kennedy our friendly & knowledgable driver & Anastasia our lovely & knowledgable tour guide. So interesting to drive along the Athens riveria seeing the fancy marinas, various beach clubs and Athenians going about their every day business. We stopped at lake Vougliameni - a day trip all on its own - another time. Then on to the Temple! It did not disappoint and the location was amazing - perched dramatically on a rocky cliff overlooking the Aegean Sea. A Freddo cappuccino on the cafe terrace & a whizz through the gift shop. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone- it was an Athens highlight for me and the top class service given by Demos, Anastasia & Kennedy was second to none-
Joanna the Tour Guide was professional, fun, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She made it a special excursion. I highly recommend this tour group and especially Joanna.
