★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 578 reviews · 6 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $171Our pick

Travel by private air-conditioned car or minivan from Athens to Lake Vouliagmeni and Cape Sounion.

Drivers such as George, Theo, Melina, Jason, and Panos are praised for local insight and flexible pacing.

“An interesting and fun day out for families! George, the driver and guide, was highly knowledgeable and kept us all entertained throughout the trip. Being dropped right at the entrance of both the spa and the poseidon temple made them much easier to visit than if we had gone ourselves, and the drive itself was very scenic and spectacular. Adults and kids alike all agreed that it was an excellent tour.”

3.Thermal SPA – Wellness & Leisure Experience At Lake Vouliagmeni in Athens

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 78 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $132

Ride by private car from Athens to Lake Vouliagmeni, a protected natural spring on the Athens Riviera. Swim in mineral-rich water, let tiny doctor fish nibble your feet, and add a Greek lunch or Cape Sounion visit. Drivers such as Giorgos, Melina, and Lysandros are praised for friendly service and local tips.

“This is a beautiful place and when we were there in late May, it was not crowded at all! However, when I hear thermal lake, I assume warm, and it is not warm, not even tepid. So, if it's not a warm day, don't go. Also the price viator charges includes the driver and lunch, not admission to the lake. I thought it included lunch AT the lake, but it did not, the driver drove us to a restaurant. I would have preferred lunch at the lake or to pick lunch on our own. Not really worth the price, considering.”
