It's been many decades since I last visited the Temple of Poseidon so I was very happy to do so with my cousins that finally came back in Greece from Australia. So much have changed over the years but we were so excited to have this tour and it far exceeded our expectations. The driver was very pleasant and he didn't mind our jokes and loudness. Definitely an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much Ruslan for this tour!!!
