George is the Best!
We were a group of 8 women and George was patient, accommodating, very knowledgeable, and exceptionally friendly. He was punctual and prepped. He made excellent recommendations for the rest of our trip and had us rolling laughing the whole time. He made our trip to Athens the best!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words Eryn! It was a real pleasure to explore Greece with you and your friends, I hope we'll meet again in the near future for some more exciting tours and activities!

Traveling with a local
George was such an amazing tour guide that we booked 3 days of activities with him: 1. Poseidon’s temple snorkel, 2. Athens city tour and 3. Toured cities and archaeological sites outside of Athens. He’s friendly and does a great job of reading the group to decide what to do next. He was raised in Athens so he has a deep knowledge of the area, history and great restaurant recommendations. We’d use his tour group again!
Response from the operator: Efharisto, Thank you Cortney for your kind words, you are the best!!

It's worth doing even if you're a beginner.
Really nice day out. Very friendly and told us about the history of the area. Patient, as well as it was our first time snorkling. It was a lovely location we went to . It's worth adding the Posiedon trip on the day as well if you are intetersed in Greek history and the Gods.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind words! Looking forward to welcoming you again for some exciting tours and cruises.

Hire these guys
I cannot recommend these guys strongly enough. We booked a day trip with George and Amalia without knowing much about them. Was very impressed. George and Amelia drove us first to the Temple of Poseidon. During the entire trip, George was a wealth of information. He told us about the history of the area, stories of the cities we drove through, and put in the context of the things we were seeing. Afterwards we went for a nosy dive. When the boats had trouble and we had to cancel at Dive, George immediately thought of a great short Dive when she took us to. The diving was terrific. Safe, beautiful, leisurely and fun. My partner was able to snorkel while I was under the water and he had an equally enjoyable time. George went the extra mile and arranged for a make up Dive )for the canceled Dive due to boat issues) Evan took us out the second time. He is equally as friendly, informative and accommodating as his brother George. We dove a wreck this time while my partner snorkeled. I am impressed by their honesty, good-natured attitude, friendliness and helpfulness. You cannot go wrong with them. Thank you George, Amelia and Evan. We will see you next trip.

Above and beyond...and then some...
We can't say enough glowingly positive words about this tour. George and Amalia were incredibly responsive, accommodating and helpful. The snorkeling equipment was top notch. The scenery was beautiful. The experience was incredible. And to top it all off, George introduced us to an incredible local taverna in his neighborhood, off the beaten path and away from the tourists, for an unforgettable dinner with a panoramic view of pretty much all of Athens. AND on top of all of that George took us back to our hotel to grab our bags and took us to our new hotel to check in (we weren't able to get the same hotel for consecutive nights in Athens...long story). AND, even more, George introduced us to his incredible band's music and gave us an autographed CD as a parting gift. Quite simply, this tour added something to our trip we could never have experienced otherwise. 5 stars isn't enough. This is a day we will never forget, and we feel we have made potential lifelong friends in George and Amalia.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind words! It was a pleasure to tour with you and we are looking forward to seeing you again in the future.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Snorkeling and swimming tour to the Poseidon's temple at Sounio: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Snorkeling and swimming tour to the Poseidon's temple at Sounio cost?
+
Prices start at €120 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 Snorkeling and swimming tour to the Poseidon's temple at Sounio 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 Snorkeling and swimming tour to the Poseidon's temple at Sounio worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 Snorkeling and swimming tour to the Poseidon's temple at Sounio?
+
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 Snorkeling and swimming tour to the Poseidon's temple at Sounio 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 Snorkeling and swimming tour to the Poseidon's temple at Sounio?
+
Around 3 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 Snorkeling and swimming tour to the Poseidon's temple at Sounio 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 Snorkeling and swimming tour to the Poseidon's temple at Sounio?
+

What languages is Snorkeling and swimming tour to the Poseidon's temple at Sounio offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Snorkeling and swimming tour to the Poseidon's temple at Sounio?
+
