1.00Firstly, the description does not match the actual places. #1 - The Lake - You seem glimpses of it, through a fence. Giving you no idea or a feel of this lake. This is definitely no picture spot! #2 - The Beach - Though pretty (like so many other things in Greece), is in the middle of nowhere, with only a restaurant. It seems like the restaurant has paid them a good sum of money, to ensure that all tours visit this beach. You are forced to be on the beach (where no one went swimming) with average food And loud music. #3 - The Temple - Entry is not included. It is 20 Euro per person which is steep, and our guide did not accompany us inside the temple, so we were left to our own for 60 mins to wander around. Unable to fully capture the history and significance of the spot. The sunset was spectacular but very crowded. And booking this tour, for these many hours, to catch a sunset did not make sense!! Extremely disappointed.
Gorgeous! Book it!

5.00Absolutely Breathtakingly Beautiful! Don’t miss out on this tour. Athena was great at explaining everything. The stop at the beach was very nice too. The kids really enjoyed it. And finally, once you get to Poseidon’s temple it is beautiful. The photos I got there of the sunset will be my new screensaver and Christmas card this year! Don’t miss out. Go! Book it now!
Great trip

5.00This was a great experience to end our trip. We did the sunset tour. Our tour guide Debbie was fantastic, so knowledgeable about Greek mythology and funny too! She made the ride there very enjoyable. The beach stop was nice, I only wish there were more traditional Greek foods on the food menu. A little expensive too, two cocktails and a pizza was €50. The actual temple of Poseidon and the sunset were unmatched. I just wish we could’ve arrived a little earlier to explore the area beforehand. I felt just a little rushed to get into the entrance before sunset. My only real complaint is that on the tour listing it said that entrance to the temple was €10 per person but it was actually €20 (€10 is for locals). Luckily we had enough cash with us, but we were unable to leave a larger tip because of this. All in all we had a great time, just prepare yourself for the long bus ride back the Athens afterwards. Still worth it for the amazing views we got!
Excellent tour! Time well...
