Good for a solo traveler to join a group. The drive to Temple of Poseidon is a bit over an hour. If you have limited time, it may be best to stay in Athens.

Amazing experience of Parthenon

Published on Jun, 2024

Amazing mind blowing experience to climb up that hill and get up close and personal view of Parthenon. No words can describe that feeling. Had a very good certified guide from Keyy Tours who was extremely knowledgeable and shared every bit of info of the place.
