Amazing time visiting Poseidon Temple - The driver Christos is super kind and professional. He picked me up on time, made several stops along the way for the sceneries, and offered interesting introductions. The Poseidon temple is a must-see site in the suburb of Athens. It is located by the seaside among the mountain, which makes it a special landmark here in Greece.
