We took the Athens Riviera tour to Cape Sounio, and overall, it was a great day out. Niko, our guide, was friendly and shared a lot of interesting facts about the area and Greek history. He was fantastic with the kids in our group, keeping them entertained and happy throughout the day.
The tour started with a quick stop at a little café to change into swimwear, grab a coffee, and get ready for the beach — nothing fancy, but it did the job. The beach itself was a hidden gem: clear water, almost no crowds, and a perfect spot to relax and swim.
The visit to the Temple of Poseidon was the highlight. It's an impressive site with amazing views, and going during the day meant we could explore without fighting the sunset crowds.
Our last stop was a local taverna for lunch, where the food was delicious and felt like a real Greek experience. A minor hiccup with paying by card was quickly sorted, and we ended up paying cash, which was fine. All in all, it was a memorable day with beautiful views, great history, and an easy-going vibe.
