    Okay but not worth the money

    Coach wasn't able to pick us up so we had to change plans at short notice and walk over a mile to the new pick up point. The tour guide was nice but I didn't think they were particularly informative. I was rather disappointed that we couldn't stay at the temple (or somewhere nearby) to watch a spectacular sunset.

    Great Tour! Would recommend!

    It was a long bus ride from Athens out to Poseidon, but the views were spectacular! The tour guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable. We loved her! The only thing we didn’t know is that it would be a dual language tour, so everything she said in English, she said in French, also which was a little bit tiresome to hear a lot of talking all the time. It would’ve been better if we had an English only tour guide for the tour. The Lookout itself is absolutely gorgeous and worth it. We enjoyed that a lot!

    An Great Afternoon at the Temple of Posidon

    The visit to the Temple of Poseidon is not to be missed by those interested in ancient Greece. It’s so close to Athens that it makes it an easy day. The views are amazing and so is the temple! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable as well.

    It was a lovely drive out...

    It was a lovely drive out to the temple. The guide was very knowledgable. The site is great to see and worth the half day.

    Afternoon English Tour: Sounion with Temple of Poseidon Ticket: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.

    How much does Afternoon English Tour: Sounion with Temple of Poseidon Ticket cost?

    +

    Prices start at €45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Afternoon English Tour: Sounion with Temple of Poseidon Ticket take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.

    Is Afternoon English Tour: Sounion with Temple of Poseidon Ticket worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 597 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Afternoon English Tour: Sounion with Temple of Poseidon Ticket?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Afternoon English Tour: Sounion with Temple of Poseidon Ticket suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Afternoon English Tour: Sounion with Temple of Poseidon Ticket?

    +

    Around 209 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Afternoon English Tour: Sounion with Temple of Poseidon Ticket start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Athens?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Athens?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Athens?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Afternoon English Tour: Sounion with Temple of Poseidon Ticket?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop off (selected hotels only); Professional guide; French speaking only on Monday and on Friday; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Entrance ticket to Temple of Poseidon (Sounio). Not included: Food and drinks, unless specified; Gratuities; and Pick up from Piraeus port, airport, airbnb and apartments. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Afternoon English Tour: Sounion with Temple of Poseidon Ticket include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 51 listed pickup locations in and around Athens. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Afternoon English Tour: Sounion with Temple of Poseidon Ticket offered in?

    +

    +

    Is Afternoon English Tour: Sounion with Temple of Poseidon Ticket wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
