Beautiful Temple ruins and a gorgeous sunset

4.00A 90min drive along a beautiful coast, and finally at a stunning point well worth the journey. Temple is a really photogenic point and the sunset a bonus (on a clear day)
Must-see!!!

5.00We missed the tour due to flight delays. Organized a private trip through a vehicle hire…quite reasonable price. The drive is really beautiful, and sunset at the temple of Poseidon is not to be missed.
Beautiful place

5.00Beautiful location, mixing archeological changing rooms, breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea. The price is interesting for families with children because admission is free for them. On the other hand, for groups composed of adults 20€ / person seems a little expensive.
Licensed archeologist where?

1.00Licensed archeologist where? She didn't even go into the sight to tell us about the temple. Was just a ride to the site. Disappointed.
Lovely way to see the coast

5.00Breathtaking view and very educational. I would highly recommend it. Only criticism is that we were delayed due to picking up and dropping people to and from the temple. Such a shame particularly when the individuals were not on time for the tour.
Misinformation and rude behavior

1.00We arrived at the designated pickup point 30 minutes prior to the departure time, as instructed. I waited for over 40 minutes, diligently checking each bus that arrived, but none matched the trip I had booked. Then I moved from the designated pick-up point and i found were the company's office is and asked for assistance. Unfortunately, the staff were unhelpful and dismissive, informing me that the bus had already left but refusing to provide any further information, assistance, compensation, or the possibility to reschedule my trip. Their attitude was unfriendly, and the lack of signage or clear communication made it impossible to locate the correct bus. This experience was frustrating, inconvenient, and disappointing. I incurred unnecessary costs and wasted time due to what I believe is a failure on the service provider's part, and possibly inadequate instructions or coordination presented during the booking.
Stunning views and magical sunset.

5.00This was a great experience! It was so beautiful there and the sunset was magical. They probably give you too much time at the site before sunset but there’s a cafe you can get tea or coffee and food at if you like. It’s windy up there so a light jacket was handy. I’m glad we took this trip because we nearly passed it up and it was definitely worth it.
Lovely trip

5.00My best friend and I did this on the 14. of September and it was such a nice experience!!! Everything worked without complications and the bus was clean & comfortabele. We stayed until after sunset at the Temple of Poseidon and had roundabout 2h Time to explore the place there... Buying entry tickets at the Temple was no problem, EU citizens U25 are free.... What made our experience so wonderful was the LOVELY Tourguide we had!! He told us a lot during the bus ride and volunteered to take pictures of us etc and just spread such positive vibes!!!! Thank you so soo much!

2.00This tour was a disaster from the very beginning. The air conditioner on the bus was not working but the tour company proceeded to start the tour. 15 minutes into out journey with everyone sweating as it was so hot, we were told that the tour company had arranged another bus so we all hopped off and expected the replacement bus to arrive in 15 minutes. The replacement bus took over 1 hour to come. We eventually arrived at 6:55 pm and we only had 1 hour to spend before returning back to the bus at 8pm. The tour guide was nice & apologetic. He did get into a heated argument with the bus driver. Cape sounion sunset & temple of Poseidon was incredible.
