“Panos was a great guide and very personable. The lake was cold, so only one of four of us swam. The other 3 were just pleased to be in the water, and enjoyed the little fish nibbling at our feet. Beautiful area and not crowded. The Temple of Poseidon was so picturesque out on Cape Sounion. Panos took us to a restaurant for lunch, with the sea just outside the window.”

3.Lichadonisia Islets Day Tour with Boat & Thermal Spa Pool

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 22 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $118

Travel by air-conditioned coach from Athens to Kamena Vourla, then take a boat to the Lichadonisia islets for several hours of swimming and beach time. Guide Giorgio helps keep the day organized, while the optional Galini Mitsis thermal pool offers a warm finish.

“Very Nice expérience. Plenty of time on the beach of the Island. Take your swim show to explore and your food. The little café, does not provide food enough, bad quality and expensive. And you will wait long time to get your order. The sea is beautiful. And the view also. You are by yourself all the day and for the dinner. I recommand to book the spa, it is nice after a beach day. Maybe too expensive because you pay only to get the bus, the boat and the spa entry”

The lake was a one of a kind experience with the fish nipping at you. Then, off to the oil mill. We were all impressed at the functioning oil mill! The owners treated us like family guests! They shared with us not only how the oil was made but also how important it was to their culture. Then we stopped at Poseidon's temple and enjoyed the history. George was a very good guide and made our tour memorable!”
