Good To Know
Public transportation options are available nearby
Suitable for all physical fitness levels
The duration of tours are approximate, the exact duration will depend on the time of day and traffic conditions
Operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately
Our agency works with professional tour guides who are independent contractors. They are contracted for a duration of 4 hours per tour. The total duration of each tour, which ranges from 4 to 5 hours, takes into account the time spent on transportation from the client's pickup location and the traffic conditions on the booked date and time
Cape Sounio extension adds ~4-5 hours to the overall tour duration
Cape Sounio extension does not include professional tour guide and entrance fees, travellers are visiting the site by themselves and this portion of the tour is conducted by an english speaking, history-proficient driver and potentially a tour host depending on availability on the tour date
For operational reasons, the tour guide may meet you at the first archaeological site, and you will be picked up by your driver and transported to the guide's location to begin the tour there
The vehicle provided for our private tours depends on the size of your group, and all options are from the Mercedes luxury range, featuring brand-new models. This could be a 4-seater sedan, a 6-seater van, or a 15-seater minibus. In some cases, a larger vehicle than your group size may be used—for example, it's quite common to use a 15-seater minibus for groups with fewer than 15 participants
