Beautiful scenery and temple, easy way to see a monument I would not have been able to otherwise see.
The drive was nice, we mostly went down the coast of the Sardonic Sea, which was beautiful. The Temple of Poseidon had amazing views, completely unbeatable. There is a small cafe where you can get a couple snack options and some espresso. Small gift shop and bathrooms are available. It rained a little bit but we packed our umbrellas and the guide gave out ponchos. Our guide was Joy and she was indeed a joy! She was knowledgeable and told great stories/mythology. I would recommend this tour!
Being from San Diego, a city along the same latitude and therefore a city considered to have a "Mediteranian Climate", I thoroughly enjoyed this half-day trip. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the cape and the temple, as well as certain sites and places of interest as along the way.
It was almost a hour long bus ride each way. We got to spend maybe like 45 mins at Sounion. Not enough to see the Temple and take pictures. Felt a bit rushed. I wish they had given some more time to stay there for a drink or snack. As the total trip is over 3 hours. Guide was good as she kept explaining on the way. The place is beautiful.
Our guide Emma didnt meet our expectations. She had a very heavy accent which was hard to understand...most of the passengers were sleeping. She was hardly audible and even after telling her it wasn't any better. Looks like she is pretty new and I could see the glaring difference an experienced one and an inexperienced guide as we had taken another tour with a deffierent company where the guide wase excellent.
