Temple of Artemis
Discover the Temple of Artemis: Dedicated to the goddess Artemis, protector of hunters, animals, and childbirth, Vravrona holds a unique historical significance. Legend has it that Artemis, angered by the killing of two young female bears, inflicted a plague upon Athens. To appease her, Athenians sent young girls aged 5 to 10 to serve her in her temple, known as arkti (bears). Festivals like the Vravronia were held here, featuring music, sports, and poetry recitations.

A Hidden Gem
Tas met us at our cruise ship, and loaded up our luggage. He brought Greek cookies, and stopped to buy us coffee! (not an easy task) Driving through the countryside was gorgeous, with small farms & animals. We spent a lovely day at the Temple of Artemis, which is truly a hidden gem! Not too many people, fascinating ruins to walk through, and an excellent museum. Tas is a wealth of historical and cultural information, and truly kind and personable. Most highly recommended!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review! We're so happy you enjoyed your day with Tas and your visit to the Temple of Artemis. It's great to hear that the little touches, from the Greek cookies and coffee to the scenic drive through the countryside, helped make the experience even more enjoyable. Tas will be thrilled to know that his knowledge, hospitality, and passion for sharing Greece made such a positive impression. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to see you again on your next trip to Greece!

Wonderful way to see sites outside the City of Athens
This all-day trip was a fantastic way to see some of the sights outside the city. Peter was a great driver and guide during the travel times between sites. The actual sites themselves were at your own pace, which was a fun way to dig into the history as much as we wanted. The entire tour was great, but the Temple of Poseidon was the highlight (along with lunch on the coast).
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted you enjoyed discovering some of the beautiful sites beyond Athens. Peter will be pleased to hear your kind words. The Temple of Poseidon and a seaside lunch make for a wonderful combination, and we're glad they were highlights of your day. Thank you for choosing Ancient Greece Tours! Best regards from Athens, George

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Temple of Artemis, Temple of Poseidon and Athens Riviera -Private: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Temple of Artemis, Temple of Poseidon and Athens Riviera -Private cost?
+
Prices start at $47 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 Temple of Artemis, Temple of Poseidon and Athens Riviera -Private take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Temple of Artemis, Temple of Poseidon and Athens Riviera -Private worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Temple of Artemis, Temple of Poseidon and Athens Riviera -Private?
+
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 Temple of Artemis, Temple of Poseidon and Athens Riviera -Private suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Temple of Artemis, Temple of Poseidon and Athens Riviera -Private?
+
Around 2 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Temple of Artemis, Temple of Poseidon and Athens Riviera -Private 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.
