Outstanding Private Tour of the Cape of Sounio

Very enjoyable tour with Yiannis. He was very engaging, knowledgeable and professional. Yiannis was very accommodating and personalized our tour of Vouliagmeni and the Cape of Sounion to perfection! Highly recommend!

Book this tour and ask for Demetrios!

My husband and I took this tour and it was one of our favorite experiences of our entire trip. Demetrius was an amazing driver and guide. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. The drive along the water was beautiful and the spacious air-conditioned vehicle was divine after a day of heat in the city. We stopped at a couple of beautiful sites along the way for photos. The sunset experience was breathtaking and absolutely worth the drive. You don’t want to miss it! On the way back, Demetrios took us to one of his favorite gyro spots for dinner, the perfect ending to a great afternoon. Highly recommended!
