A very worthwhile trip to the cape; the scenery is dramatically beautiful even in bad weather. It was extremely windy. Whether you want to pay €20 to get a few meters closer to the temple is up to you, but I think the price is exorbitant. It's not really relevant here, but I find it a bit of a shame that, on the one hand, they charge exorbitant entrance fees for what there is to see, and then, on the other hand, far too little of that money is invested in something worthwhile. €20 for this small area—the entrance fee to Pompeii, where you can't see everything in a week, costs €18. It's not as bad in Greece as in Turkey, but it's not that far removed from tourist traps either...

If you can, ask for Teddy an Alex. We had a group of 16. They were amazing, kept the entire group engaged. They gave so much Greek history an clarity. Then to top it off they were funny, professional an simply awesome. They made Athens come alive, we can't thank you enough.

Reviews: Essential Athens and Cape Sounion, Poseidon's Temple, Private Day Tour

We had a great experience with this company from start to finish. Booking our tour with Nikos was very easy. He provided all of the information we needed, gave very clear instructions on how to purchase our Acropolis tickets, etc. Our guide for the day was Mario. He arrived on time and we had such a great day with him. We arrived at the Temple of Poseidon before all the big cruise ship busses so basically had the place to ourselves. I asked to be able to find a Starbucks at some point so I could buy the Athens Starbucks mug. Our tour was not going to take us within walking distance of a Starbucks so Mario drove up to one and parked outside with the car running so I could run in and get the mug. He didn't need to do this but he wanted to be sure all of our requests were honored. He took us to lots of cool spots. Our last stop was the Acropolis. All we had to do when we were done was just call him and he came to pick us right up. He got us back to our ship in plenty of time before our back on board time. It was a great day and a great overview of Athens. I'm very glad we made the choice to visit the Temple of Poseidon in addition to just Athens because it was really stunning. I would definitely recommend Private Greece Tours for your tour needs in Athens. We had a great experience.
