“Jason our driver picked us up exactly on time to take us to the thermal lake in a very nice and comfortable car with complimentary water. Along the way he gave us interesting information about the local area. When he dropped us off at the lake we arranged a time to meet again but he said not to rush and to enjoy ourselves. The lake was very relaxing and a lovely temperature. The little fishes nibbling on our feet was a fun experience and our skin really did feel good afterwards. After we left the lake we followed the coast along to a wonderful tavern for a delicious seafood lunch…”

3.Lake Vouliagmeni Thermal Spa And Temple Of Poseidon Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 14 reviews · 5 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $114Best value

This private Athens outing pairs a swim at mineral-rich Lake Vouliagmeni with the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion. Your English-speaking driver, such as Xenofontas, Nikos, Theodoras, or Yannis, handles the route, pickup, snacks, and water. Choose the six-hour option if you want time to swim.

“We really enjoyed Lake Vouliagmeni. The weather was a bit chilly due to a storm from Africa, so the water was 19°C, but we still swam and enjoyed the experience. Our driver then took us to a lovely traditional restaurant by the coast with great food. After that, we visited the Temple of Poseidon, which was beautiful with amazing views. The driver was kind and helpful, though he didn’t provide much information, so it was more like having a driver than a guided tour.”
