“Panos was a great guide and very personable. The lake was cold, so only one of four of us swam. The other 3 were just pleased to be in the water, and enjoyed the little fish nibbling at our feet. Beautiful area and not crowded. The Temple of Poseidon was so picturesque out on Cape Sounion. Panos took us to a restaurant for lunch, with the sea just outside the window.”

Me and my partner had dived before but my partner was still not comfortable with being underwater. Aspa and Katerina did a gret job making sure she was comfortable, safe and took it slow in a pace she felt safe with. We were able to see many creatures underwater such as sea urchins, fish and even a squid.…”

“Our family decided to take a chance with a local tour guide in Athens to visit the Temple of Poseidon and couldn't have been happier. Fotis picked us up directly at our hotel and, along with a few others, began our excursion. Our day was exceptional as Fotis made the 1.5-hour drive out of Athens full of laughs, mythology, and visits to a few of his favourite local hotspots. I would not hesitate to recommend Fotis to anyone looking for a friendly, knowledgeable and easy-going guide. Looking forward to meeting him again when we're back in Athens!”
