Beautiful views and great conversation - George communicated with us through the day to coordinate our pickup and itinerary. We opted for an early dinner followed by the sunset at the Temple of Poseidon. During our coastal drive out of the city, George talked about the history of the area and explained a lot about the Greek culture. All of this was enlightening and interesting. The taverna had a waterside table waiting for us and we were greeted by the owner with open arms. He took us over to the ice filled drawer and pulled out the fresh fish for us to make our selection for dinner. We opted for the grouper and a Greek salad. Let me just tell you, that was the best fish we have ever had! Grilled and prepared to perfection. After dinner, we proceeded to the temple where we walked up a paved walkway, enjoying the views along the way. Not only are the ruins a marvel, you get the understanding of the importance of its location. The sunset was one of the most beautiful I have ever experienced. I highly recommend this private tour and I highly recommend George as your driver and guide - you will not be disappointed.

This was a terrific... - This was a terrific getaway from Athens. The Athenian Riviera was a beautiful part of the trip. Sunset at the Temple of Poseidon was still better with our luck being the night of full moon. Our driver, George, was pleasant and drove us in luxurious Mercedes E-Class.

Unforgettable Sunset Tour and World-Class Hospitality with Peter! - I highly recommend the Private Sunset Tour of Cape Sounion, the Temple of Poseidon, and the Athens Riviera. From the moment Peter Kleioufis picked me up directly from my hotel, I knew I was in for a fantastic experience.
Peter is an incredibly personable and easy-to-talk-to guide. During our drive out to Cape Sounion, he kept the journey engaging by sharing a wealth of information about Athens, its deep history, fascinating Greek mythology, and even current building projects happening around the city. Right from the start, he made it clear that this was my experience, constantly checking in and emphasizing that he would do whatever it took to make the trip memorable for me.
Once we arrived, Peter dropped me off right at the entrance to the Temple of Poseidon. I had plenty of time to tour the spectacular ruins on my own and find the perfect spot to take in the breathtaking sunset views.
What really stood out was Peter’s flexibility. On the drive back, the weather took a turn and it started raining. I decided to skip my original dinner plans and asked if we could just head straight back to the hotel instead. Peter didn't miss a beat and accommodated the change instantly.
I wholeheartedly recommend booking a tour with Peter. His dedication to his guests is unmatched, and you absolutely won't be disappointed!

Sunset tour temple of Poseidon and Sounion - Great communication from the beginning, including estimated arrival time, review of itinerary (and suggestions for modifications) and notification upon arrival. George made sure that the tour was great. He was full of interesting information about everything we were seeing along the way and at our destinations. He was a lot of fun to be with, if the door handle didn’t work ( inside joke). In all, really great and highly recommended

Don’t miss this experience - Tas our driver was amazing. He thought of every detail waters, coffee, soda, fresh cookies, great music and along the way he educated us on so much about Athens and the Greek culture and history.
Oh and the sunset was amazing too lol.
It gets cold / windy bring layers for sure. It was too cold to do the swim in lake but it was a pretty place no doubt very enjoyable when warmer.
The stop on way back was at a generational Greek family owned restaurant with amazing food and great prices too.
Overall I feel this adventure will be the highlight of our Greece trip.
Book - you won’t regret it!

Great time - Had a great experience! The trip was well put together for my wife and I. We had a wonderful dinner by the water on the way to seeing Poseidon’s temple at sunset. Our guide was very accommodating and prompt. Very good experience for a small crowd or couples.

Care and comfort - We had a wonderful tour.
Tas went far beyond his work as a driver and looked after us so well. We had water, cookies and baklava in the car waiting for us.
Very highly recommended.

Temple of Poseidon was... - Temple of Poseidon was worth the drive. We didn’t have much of a sunset but that’s ok. We went to dinner before and in hindsight I wished I asked the driver to just skip dinner. Dinner was not great and is extra. Nice driver he did a good job,
