Had a great 3 days in Cape May. I would have given the trip 5 stars, but the weather was very bad on one of the days. It was chilly the whole time, but the rain and wind made things a bit uncomfortable. We stayed at The Victorian Motel, had two dinners at Tisha's and this visit tried a new restaurant, Maison Bleue Bistro. All gat a five star rating. We normally go in the Spring but wanted to see the holiday decorations. One mistake on my part was not booking the Trolley in advance, as it was sold out.

Had a great tour with Salvador and Athena as our guide and driver. They were super friendly and blessed us with so many interesting facts on our way to Cape Sounio. Since we went in december, there were almost no tourists which made the experience even greater. Definitely start the day with a tour in the morning to make the most out of your day. We got picked up at 9 am and got back to the Athens at around 1 pm!

We experienced the afternoon tour to Cape Sounion and it was so magical watching the sunset over the Temple of Poseidon with rock partridges nearby! The drive there was well paced with interesting information from our guide Athina and driver Alexander.

This is a 5-star tour! Their comfortable minibus picked us up not far from our AirBnb apartment. On the trip down Iliama filled us in on Greek work origins, Greek mythology, and background of the places we visited. Made the time go by quickly and was very entertaining. Two stops before arriving at the temple broke up the drive very nicely. Alexander is an excellent driver on Athens crowded roads, and then as the roads get more curvaceous as you get closer to Cape Sounion. Even if you don't get a full sunset the site is magnificent, and you are given plenty of time to explore. When we left, Iliama made sure to answer any lingering questions any of us might have, and then we relaxed to music on the drive back. OK, the Christmas music was not totally to my liking, but it is the season!! Highly recommended tour operator!
