Athens: Thermal Spa & Poseidon's Temple Private Odyssey

Theo was a really great guide and host for our trip to the lake and temple of Poseidon. Very knowledgeable and was able to ensure we avoided the rain!!! ;-)

This is definitely a tour you must book when you are visiting Athens and Greece. It is a unique day adventure you will always remember. Giorgos was our host and chauffeur. He was attentive and helpful from start to end and careful on the road. Be sure to use WhatsApp to ensure ease of pick up and when to move on to the next part of the adventure. The winding road to the temple passed by many small villages and great overlook photo opportunities. We were given the opportunity to visit Poseidon's Temple first to allow for the skies and waters to warm for our late morning swim. The Temple is a must see, a national treasure and compares to the Acropolis in Athens. Afterwards, our 2 hours at Lake Vouliagmeni was breath taking. The time there provided plenty of opportunity to swim the warm thermal waters and relax at the water's edge with a cocktail. The Lake is limited to only 300 people, so definitely reserve entrance tickets and your chairs or cabanas well in advance directly on the Lake Vouliagmeni website. The Lake has a large staff of waiters and lifeguards to assist making this very much a spa resort experience. Afterwards, we stopped for an extended family style lunch at Τρύπια Βάρκα (the Leaky Boat) on Παραλία Καβούρι (Kavouri Beach), a family run secret with the most authentic food and the most friendly staff. We were treated like family. This is the place to not only experience real traditional plates sitting next to the scenic beach and sea, but to lose oneself for a couple hours as if you are residing there fulltime. Giorgos was very knowledgeable and informative throughout the tour.

Interesting day out of Athens with plenty of freedom at each of the sites visited. Your briefing on the car can be short or long, as you wish

Melina was a great hostess and Driver. It was great we were picked up from our Airbnb which was in Alimos outside of Athens. She had txt us the night before to confirm our pickup time and what to bring for out trip to the Lake etc. We had a great experience at the lake and felt very refreshed after our swim. We proceeded to The Temple of Posideon with stops along the way for photos. Melina was very knowledgeable and knew her history very well which added to out trip. Temple of Posideon was spectacular and has amazing views. We stopped on way back at a fabulous fish restaurant The 4 Brothers where we had a delicious meal with the most tasty fish highly recommended 😋

Jason was pur tpur guide he was great! We had a great day. But I will say if you have a thing about fish... the lake may not be your thing. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by a ton of little fish nibbling on you. The lake was beautiful and very nice resort. The temple was easy to hike and beautiful. Very windy. Jason took us to an amazing Greek restaurant that was not touristy. Authenticate, with great food. Then he took us on a side trip for a stop we wanted to make on the way back it was so nice. Great day and worth it.

Lovely places and amazing experience! The Lake is a beautiful picture! The Poisedon Temple is amazing! Mr. George is a very kind person, who drived to us and shown to us the main places to visit em Athena

Anthony was very knowledgeable and patient. Very punctual. Gave us a lot of information about the Greek culture. He gave us some good ideas for another trip back to Greece.

We loved our private day tour of Temple of Poseidon and the thermal lake! Our driver was very friendly and knowledgeable (Dimitris) about Athens. We had plenty of time to explore the temple, and also plenty of time at the lake. The food lunch stop recommendation from our driver was perfect! We stopped at a restaurant and had a delicious lunch, and he recommended an amazing place in Athens that we went to following his recommendation. Would highly recommend this trip to others!

We had a fantastic experience. Harry our tour guide was very friendly, conversational, and made us feel extremely taken care of. We started the trip with a visit to the lake, our tour guide was very patient with us and let us take close to 3 hours at the site, then we headed straight for the Temple of Poseidon, though were offerred the option to stop for a lunch break before (we decided to do so after the temple). The trip was easy, the experience at the lake and temple were unforgetable. Highly recommend this tour option! Many thanks to Harry for making this an amazing experience in Greece!

Was a very personal experience tailored to our needs. Harry was a fabulous host. Tour was even Better than expected. Saw several sites and ate at delicious authentic place on the coast near the temple of poseidon
