When we explored the Temple of Poseidon, it was not crowded and the weather was nice, making this one of the most enjoyable architectural sites we visited. The views of the sea from the temple were stunning. Stavros recommend the “Four Brothers” restaurant for lunch. This was an unexpected treat!…”

Our Guide has a Greek History University degree. Recommend going on 8am Tour if weather is hot. Climb is a slow pace given crowds, however quite easy now given that there are ramps and proper steps. We had the option which included Tickets, which meant we could avoid the long ticket queues. You won’t regret taking this Tour.”
