Our guide Xenia was delightful. She has an extensive educational background in Greek history and archaeology, but above that, she is a passionate storyteller. We loved getting out of Athens and seeing the coastal countryside, with Xenia’s running commentary on the sites. Sounion Cape is lovely, the temple worthwhile.

Breathtaking views along Athens Riviera and beaches up to the magnificent temple of Poseidon. Very knowledgeable guide who got me interested again in the Greek mythology stories. Ironically we had this tour dedicated to Poseidon the god of the sea, earthquakes and storms on the same day an earthquake hits Greece.

It's a great way to spend a half day. It's about 1-1/2 hours, going along the coast and seeing the beaches along the way. The site itself is right on the cape, far up the hill, and the views are stunning. The site itself is small, and you can see it all in about 20 minutes. Although billed as a "sunset" tour, since we went during one of the longer days of the year, we were out well before sunset, but that didn't matter. One interesting thing--look at all of the graffiti on the base of the columns. The trip back took longer than expected because of traffic, but this was a minor thing, and certainly no fault of the company. The online purchase of tickets was easy, and the guide was good. Highly recommended.
