Cape Sounio lies just 70 kilometers from Athens, making it the perfect afternoon destination. The Greeks chose very carefully the sites of their temples, taking into account the natural beauty of the location and its absolute match for the divinity of God. Nowhere is this more evident than at the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion. The place is a popular excursion for locals and tourists from Athens, with the sunset over the Aegean to illuminate the rubble, making it a sought-after spectacle. You will see a magnificent sunset that is considered perhaps the most fascinating in Attica!
