“I just wanted a low key day trip out of Athens and this was perfect. It’s an easy day, get to see a few sites that are both great for photos and historical learning. Our guide, Christopher, was the best. He really made the trip that much better - we had some troublesome people on our tour but he handled everything so well and professionally! I would recommend for sure.”
Explore Ancient Corinth, Nafplio, local food, and Arvanitia Beach on a guided day trip from Athens with optional summer swimming.
“What a wonderful trip. The price is a great deal for all that you get to see and do. This tour was a highlight of our trip so far!

I could listen to her talk all day. She’s interesting and extremely knowledgeable. She also seems to notice what you are interested in learning about and will delve deeper into helping you learn. She gave excellent suggestions on things to do at each location and we had a lovely time! I felt…”
Review of Athens’ Riviera and Cape Sounio tour, with Greek coffee, a beach stop, Poseidon’s Temple at sunset, and local tavern dining.
“I wish I had given it a sixth star! The tour is super well thought out, and all the stops together form the perfect combo. Konstantinos is super enthusiastic and gives you lots of information with humor. You're in good hands, safe and secure with your family. It's also perfect for children. Honestly, don't hesitate.”
Review of a private Athens trip to Cape Sounio, with Poseidon’s Temple, Aegean swimming, Greek coffee, local food, and flexible guiding.
“Although our tour was confirmed by both Viator and local guide up to one day before our excusing anthems and were charged, guide never showed up. He didn’t answer my calls nor texts. I called Viator, and they couldn’t contact him either. With only one day in port off our cruise ship, we had no alternative. It to hire a taxi to drive us to sounion. I expect a refund from Viator it it doesn’t compensate us for a missed opportunity.”
Review of Athens to Cape Sounio: swim at Kape Beach, see Poseidon’s Temple, visit Lavrio, and enjoy a small-group coastal escape.
“Me and my friends had such an awesome time on this tour. We all agreed the best thing we did in Athens. Our highlights were that we got to hang out at the beach with drinks and enjoy a swim and the sun as well as all the stories and mythology that our guide shared with us. Our day ended with a pretty sunset at the temple of Poseidon and then we had the most amazing Greek meal at a nice local harbour town that Dimitri recommended. Overall I recommend this, such a great day !”
A boat, a castle, a waterfall or a very long lunch.
