Reviews
Watching the sunset at Tanah Lot Temple was worth it, even with the full moon and the slightly longer travel time; the unforgettable scenery made up for it. Thank you to our guide, Katerina, for her enthusiasm and for expertly handling the traffic. Due to time constraints and limited food options, I recommend preparing in advance. On the way there, choose a seat on the right side of the vehicle for ocean views.
My partner wasn’t feeling well on the day that we booked. I spoke the manager and he moved us to the following day at no extra cost. As I had nothing to do that day he offered me complimentary access to walking tour which was great. Really appreciated them going above and beyond. Would recommend using them. The tour guide on the coach was informative and fun.
Basically, it's the cost of taking a bus to see the sunset, which isn't too expensive, but if you book a tour in Athens city center, it'll probably only cost about 25 euros. You'll arrive at the location pretty early, so it's recommended to bring some food to eat, otherwise the wait will be quite long. Buying a ticket on-site costs 20 euros, which you'll need to pay separately.
Excellent day trip and fantastic guide! Love the story told regarding the Temple of Poseidon and the amount of free time is just right.
It was an amazing place to see the sunset. The travel time was longer than the stay in the Temple of Poseidon but it was worth the trip. The guide and the driver were very professional and kind. I missed my pickup time though so I called up the office and I was able to catch the bus. Please check your email and expect that pick up time and place will be different from what you booked.
Great tour and good tour guide who explain the history about the place and around it. Transport was comfortable too and receptionists were kind to answer my questions. Just note the departure time which vary according to sunset timing.
The sunset view at Cape Sounion is beautiful. Though the drive up is long and we only get to see the ruins of the temple, but the sunset view is still worth it.
The meeting point is the Key Fours office.
Klook just provided transport to the view point. The charge is basically a transfer fee. There is little explaination on the site by the guide. She just informed us where is the resturant, WC , the view point, meeting point and meeting time. At least she is professional in ensuring the missing passager in on board before departing to Athens.
The tour itself is simple, but it was nice that the guide explained various things along the way so that it wasn't boring.
