This was a wonderful time. A long drive, Effie filled it with conversation (not lecture) about modern Athens and Piraeus and suburbs further south, their history and recent developments, and current planning. The ancient history was not neglected, of course, and we had interesting conversation about my ramblings in search of Plato's footprints in modern Athens. The coastal drive was spectacularly scenic and Effie was full of information about what we were seeing. Sounion itself is moving and despite an adventure with the weather Effie filled in a panorama of information on what we were seeing all around on sea and land and islands and into the far past. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon, including advice from our driver Georgiou on what to see tomorrow when I visit Piraeus.

Smaro was knowledgeable and clearly experienced. The quality of her tour vs other tours I saw at the Acropolis was night and day. She is passionate about Ancient Greek history and mythology. It is worth taking a high quality tour with her and learn something new.

Marina was terrific! As always, your guides are thoroughly knowledgeable and their storytelling engaging.
