Fab excursion to Sounion. - Amazing bus/tour ride along the Greek coast down to Sounion to see the Temple of Poseidon. The tour guide was fantastic, the bus driver was skilled and navigated the tour bus, professionally, and without incident. The bus itself was modern and beyond comfortable. It provided us exactly what we were looking for!

Lots of beautiful views and good information. - The journey to the site was informative and the site itself was better than expected. The tour guide was very helpful at the site and helped me get a photo of the Byron signature. She explained the significance of the site and put it in its historical context well. It would have been nice to get a closer look at the Temple of Athena site, but time was a factor and i could still get some photos.

All right. - It is a very beautiful excursion but I think there is a little more time missing there, as the travel time is relatively long. Very good guide.

The Sea is the Star - The scenic route was gorgeous, the lake, the sea, the water, wow! Air conditioned and comfortable ride. Be ready for the twist and turns though. It’s a little daunting seeing the sea so close to those turns. The guide was great! I was a little concerned based on the reviews but it was well worth the trip.
