Bucket list destination top notch - ***** 5 stars all the way hiring getting there Athens for travel needs played integral role in my fun trip. Panos my driver exuded professionalism and useful knowledge. My advice is to ask for Panos for tour guide. You will want to take him home with you he’s so helpful.

Athenian dream - This was one of the best experiences I've ever had. The Athenian riviera is fantastic, many beaches to swim, nice fish restaurants and the temple of Poseidon by the sunset is the ultimate thing. Strongly recommended.
