Drivers such as George, Theo, Melina, Jason, and Dimitris add local history, food tips, and flexible timing. Bring towels, dry clothes, and €39 for entry fees.

“Our guide George was really amazing. A local Athenian his whole life, he knows all about the country, economics, locations to see and food to eat. He remembered each of our names and I could not recommend him more! I would use him everywhere we go if I could :) The lake was beautiful and very peaceful. You can order drinks and food next to the water. But the water was very cold this time of year so might not be worth the $20 per person price. Definitely bring a towel cause they rent them for $40 a piece! Cape Sounion was beautiful but need to make the time to…”

6.Sunset Private Tour to Poseidon Temple & Vouliagmeni Thermal Lake

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 20 reviews · 6 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $220

You’ll travel by private air-conditioned car or minivan from Athens to mineral-rich Vouliagmeni Lake, then Cape Sounion for Poseidon Temple at sunset. Drivers such as Harry and Marius have earned praise for their care, local advice, and friendly service. Bring towels, dry clothes, and extra money for both entry fees.

“This was not a good trip. This is not a tour, simply the driver is driving you to the thermal lake. We were given 2.5h at the lake. After that, we were dropped at the Poseidon temple at 6:40pm, however the sunset was only at 8:40, and there was not much to do there for 2 hours, therefore we missed the sunset as we left after 1 h. The main problem of the tour is that this is not a real tour, simply a driver that drives the tourists between the hotel and the two locations. For that service, this is overpriced.”
