The ride from Athens to Cape Sounion is AMAZING, the view from the windows as we pass by the seaside is breathtaking. The Temple of Poseidon may not be as magnificent as the Parthenon, but it's location, lying right by the sea more than makes up for it. The guide was great, he knew his information well, as a history nerd i felt like all my questions were answered. Keep your camera on you at all times. The tour is filled with sights to capture. There is a bit of walking involved when you reach the site, make sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring a bottle of water.
