My life has been divided into Before I Met Teddy and After I Met Teddy. He is a force and excellent tour guide. He kept us engaged and on our toes the whole trip. The site is super crowded compared to when I went in the 90’s so be aware. I have no notes on the tour though. Teddy and the driver were excellent.

Lovely excursion outside of the city! A quick stop for a look at a lake, a long stop to eat delicious food while sitting on the beach, and then of course the sunset at the temple!

There will be some walking but not to much, wear comfortable shoes. You will learn a lot about Athens and the surrounding area from your guide on your way to the stops. Our guide was Maria and she was fantastic.

We enjoyed the scenic drive to see the temple of poseidon at sunset! There were nice stops along the way and we were fortunate to have beautiful weather!

This was a great experience from stopping at a beach club to look at the sea and have a cocktail to actually being able to witness the sunset over the temple. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and there’s plenty of free time to explore on your own.

This half day tour is great! We got to see a thermal lake, swim at a beach, and see the sunset at Temple of Poseidon. It was a bit cloudy the day of our tour. The sunset was a little blocked but it was very colorful. The guide talked about Greek food, culture, history, and mythology in an engaging way.
