This was supposed to be a sunset experience with dinner on the way back… We arrived to the temple of Poseidon around 6pm. Then driven to the restaurant, letting us know that we can get a cab back to our airBnB. We didn’t see the sunset at the temple of Poseidon and cab back cost us EUR40. Extremely disappointed. This experience was not worth the money spent.

Response from provider

We are sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. The visit to the Temple took place as planned, but due to cloudy weather the sunset wasn’t visible. You had the option to stay longer but chose to leave. Dinner is not included in the tour. Αfter discussion, I suggested a seaside restaurant and informed you that return would be by taxi, which you agreed to.
