Loved the driver, John in English. On our way back, he recommended a restaurant on the water with fresh fish which was delicious. He was quite informative about Athens and the areas along the drive.

Great day with a friendly and engaging driver, Demetrius. He shared his sense of humor and his of knowledge about the local area, and took us to a gem of a restaurant for delicious, fresh caught fish, right on the water's edge. Comfortable and efficient travel to the Temple of Poseidon, and back to the front door of our hotel.
