This was a really great excursion. The drive down the coast was wonderful and we were given plenty of information on the different parts of Athens as we went through and past. The stop at the lake was also a nice addition but the temple of Poseidon was obviously the main draw and definitely didn't disappoint! There is a useful cafe and restrooms at the site and the place itself is beautiful with a lot of opportunity to walk and explore the area. Our guide Charis Chatzopoulos was simply wonderful, supplying us with a huge breadth of knowledge and information. He was so well informed and so interesting and if I'm honest made the trip.

We liked the check-out-the-place-yourself approach. We had plenty time to walk around the places at our own pace. Though we were given a digital virtual tour guide, I’d rate the tablet 1 star. It’s like listening to someone read out of a text book. Otherwise the day tour is great. I’d recommend it if you prefer a self-guided tour.

The skip the line tickets worked a treat. The audio was very dry and boring so we switched it off and just read the signage at the site which was also in English. The views are great.

This is a really good way to get an overall look around as well as really convenient way to get between sites. Easy to access and organise .. great option for Athens

Definitely get this combo ticket as it’s cheaper than buying individual tickets for each place or queuing. Audio guide is ok if you have the time
