I’ve always wanted to see the temple of Poseidon at cape Sounion since I was a teenager. So, it was a special moment for me visiting the site. Iliana kept us busy during the ride with Greek mythology stories and Greek history. Even though it was overcast and could not see the actual sunset, the experience felt wonderful. Cloudy or not, I highly recommended it.”
