Well worth the visit. Beautiful spot for sunset or sunrise just pity cant buy tickets in advance and so creates lenghty lines to get in . One desk to buy tickets . Bathrooms another long line for ladies especialy.
We went early November which was peaceful. Paid €20 on entry. Loads of info round the site and lots of benches to contemplate and admire the view of the temple and out to sea
The trip was about an hour and a half from where i'm staying.But after you get out of the hustle and bustle, the trip was awesome. A lot of places you could pull over and take pictures or just pull over and go down to the shore. The temple itself was twenty euros, which seemed kind of high.But I did have a good time and got plenty of pictures.
Comfortable and informative trip. Plenty of time given to explore once at the sites. Our tour guide Julia was great, easy to understand and engaging.
Giulia is very knowledgeable and has very good tips. The temple of Poseidon at sunset is a must do
Very nice bus ride to see the temple of Poseidon which has a beautiful sunset. The employees are friendly and give insight on history.
The guide is good and friendly. She will answer your queries patiently. Thank you.
Absolutely phenomenal! A very convenient, affordable way to see the stunning sunset at the Temple of Poseidon. The guide was excellent as well, sharing plenty of stories on the myths surrounding the Temple.
Took a while to get there from Athens but it is worthy. It was very cloudy that day so the sunset was not really visible. But it os amazing how the ancient Greeks decide to honor Poseidon in such a magnificent place. The nice thing was there was a holiday in Greece and the entrance was free!
A wonderful place to enjoy sunset, in the grounds of the 6th century BC (destroyed, and rebuilt 488BC) Temple of Poseidon. Free to enter for EU residents (take proof/passport), 20 Euro cash or card otherwise. Arrive early, and choose a rock to sit on for sunset; it gets really busy! Beautiful colours in the sky, Aegean Sea, and on the Temple make this an evening to remember!
