Athens dinner and Poseidon’s Temple Tour
Our tour to Poseidon’s temple with a stop for dinner in Athens was absolutely amazing. Our guide, Dimitris was very knowledgeable and told us stories of the area which included Greek history. He was funny, personable and spoke English extremely well. The drive along the coast was so beautiful. And the restaurant by the sea, where we ate was fantastic. I would have to say it was the best meal we had in Athens. By the end of the evening, Dimitris was family. We could not have asked for a better person to have spent our last evening in Athens with and I wholeheartedly recommend him, without hesitation, to everyone visiting Athens.
Response from the operator: Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a wonderful review. Reading that "by the end of the evening, Dimitris was family" is one of the greatest compliments I could ever receive. My goal has always been to make guests feel less like customers and more like friends discovering Greece together. I am delighted that you enjoyed the coastal drive, the stories and history of the area, the Temple of Poseidon, and of course our dinner by the sea. Knowing that it became one of your favorite memories from Athens means more to me than I can express. Thank you for your trust, your company, and the enjoyable conversations we shared throughout the evening. It was a genuine pleasure meeting you, and I hope our paths cross again someday, whether in Greece or elsewhere in the world. Warm regards, Dimitris Nitsolas

If you are planning a trip to Sounio, look no further! Our experience at the Temple of Poseidon was absolutely magical, and a huge part of that was thanks to our driver, Stelios. Our Driver: Stelios was a true professional—incredibly polite, knowledgeable, and a fantastic, smooth driver. Throughout the ride, he shared fascinating stories and local tips, making the journey fly by. The Location: The Temple of Poseidon is breathtaking. The panoramic views of the endless Aegean Blue are unmatched; it’s a place filled with incredible energy and history. The Food: After our tour, Stelios took us to a traditional tavern nearby that was an absolute gem! We had amazing, authentic food made with fresh ingredients and genuine local flavors, completely away from the usual tourist traps. It was the perfect balance of history, relaxation, and delicious food. Stelios, thank you for everything—we can't wait for our next trip with you! Highly recommended!

Professional, punctual, safe, and informative
I first booked Giannis for an airport transfer to my AirBnB in Athens. Knowing he'd be there to get me and my heavy luggage to the apartment was comforting since a transport strike was imminent. During the drive, he suggested a couple possible tours, including one to the Temple of Poseidon. Glad I took him up on the offer. He's was punctual, picked me up at the designated location, and provided some great information during the drive to the Temple and back. The trip was 1.5 hours one way. He patiently waited for me to peruse the site and take photos at my leisure. I'd highly recommend him and will use him again at the end of the month for a return trip to the airport.
Response from the operator: Dear Sir, Thank you very much for your thoughtful and detailed review. We are truly delighted to hear that Giannis provided you with a safe, comfortable, and informative experience throughout your time in Athens and during your visit to Cape Sounion. It is especially rewarding to know that the tour, the flexibility of the experience, and the personalized service made such a positive impression on your trip. Creating smooth, enjoyable, and memorable journeys for our guests is always our highest priority. We sincerely appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you again for your upcoming airport transfer and any future experiences in Greece. Warm regards, AthensTaxinow

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Temple of Poseidon Sunset & Athens Riviera Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Private Temple of Poseidon Sunset & Athens Riviera Dinner cost?
+
Prices start at $58 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 Temple of Poseidon Sunset & Athens Riviera Dinner take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Temple of Poseidon Sunset & Athens Riviera Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 Temple of Poseidon Sunset & Athens Riviera Dinner?
+
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 Temple of Poseidon Sunset & Athens Riviera Dinner suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Temple of Poseidon Sunset & Athens Riviera Dinner?
+
Around 5 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Temple of Poseidon Sunset & Athens Riviera Dinner 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 Small Group E-Bike Tour, Small Group Greek Traditional Food Tour in Athens 20+ Tastings, Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis. 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.
