What's included in the 3-hour tour?

Private minivan transport, a scenic drive along Athens' coastline, entry to the Temple of Poseidon archaeological site, and time to explore the ruins. Your driver/guide provides flexible routing; additional stops can be arranged on request.

Will I have time to see the temple properly?

Yes. You'll have roughly 60–90 minutes at Cape Sounio to walk the temple, take photos, and enjoy the views. This allows comfortable exploration without feeling rushed.

Is this tour suitable for kids?

Yes, though the temple involves walking on uneven ancient stone and steep paths. Bring water and sun protection. Very young children may find the walk challenging.

Can I request a different time or itinerary?

Absolutely. The tour is private and flexible. Contact the operator with your preferences—alternative departure times or additional coastal stops can be arranged.

What's the difference between this and larger group sunset tours?

This is a private tour, so you avoid large crowds, have personalised routing, and can set your own pace. It's typically more expensive than a coach tour but offers better value for tailored experience in a shorter timeframe.

Is transport included, and where do we meet?

Yes, private minivan transport is included with pickup from your Athens hotel or a designated central meeting point. Confirm pickup details when you book.
