Awesome Tour!
We had a wonderful time on this private tour through the seaside towns up to the Poseidon Temple for a glorious sunset! The driver was so accommodating and knowlegable of the area. He recommended a wonderful restaurant on the water, that was the best food we had in our 5 days in the Athens area! Highly recommend this tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure having you with us and showing you the beautiful coastal route to Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon. I’m delighted that you enjoyed the sunset and, especially, the restaurant recommendation! It means a lot to know that it became one of the highlights of your time in Athens. Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. We hope to see you again in Greece!

Great experience to acclimate to new time zone!
Nikos was a wonderful guide and driver on the trip along the Athenian coast and to the T mole of Poseidon. He also found a lovely restaurant on the water for us to enjoy dinner. Great experience for our group of 6 family and friends!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that Nikos made your day special and that you enjoyed the beautiful Athenian coast, Cape Sounion, and the seaside restaurant. It was a pleasure hosting your group of six!

Yamas Maria! Raising a glass of Malamatina to you!!
Our family has a habit of ranking every facet of our trips...best location; best meal; best activity; best guide; etc. After 10 days in Greece on a boys trip (Athens, Santorini, and Corfu) and multiple tours....Maria is the undisputed champ (although Demetrios and his bike tour in Corfu almost had her beat)! Sure, the points of interest were amazing...the setting of the Temple of Poseidon yielded post card/Instagram quality shots for sure...but the real bang for your buck is finding a guide you immediately connect with and miss when it's time to say good-bye. That's Maria! Learned some new Greek phrases; taught her a couple English figures of speech as well. Great stuff! You won't be disappointed.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that Maria made such a lasting impression and helped make your Greece adventure so memorable. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with her. We hope to welcome you back to Greece again soon! 🇬🇷😊

Great time
It was a great time, friendly and efficient! Explained sites along the way gave the history of things. Gives you time to take photos and just be at each location didn’t feel rushed at all.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much! We’re glad you enjoyed the experience and the relaxed pace. It means a lot to hear you felt comfortable and well-informed throughout the tour!

Poseidon Temple Private Tour
We booked Pericles for our honeymoon and he was a fantastic tour guide! The ride was comfortable and he is extremely knowledgeable. There was ample time to see the temple and enjoy the stops. Will be recommending his company to everyone. The atmosphere for the ride was relaxed and professional. Will be booking with him again whenever we are back in Athens.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means a lot. We’re delighted you had such a memorable honeymoon experience and would be happy to welcome you back anytime in Athens!

Private Luxury Tour: Athens Riviera & The Temple of Poseidon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Private Luxury Tour: Athens Riviera & The Temple of Poseidon cost?
+
Prices start at $166 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 Private Luxury Tour: Athens Riviera & The Temple of Poseidon 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 Private Luxury Tour: Athens Riviera & The Temple of Poseidon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 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 Private Luxury Tour: Athens Riviera & The Temple of Poseidon?
+
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 Private Luxury Tour: Athens Riviera & The Temple of Poseidon 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 Private Luxury Tour: Athens Riviera & The Temple of Poseidon?
+
Around 8 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 Private Luxury Tour: Athens Riviera & The Temple of Poseidon 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.
