Sounio
Cape Sounion is one of the most impressive seafront locations not to miss during your vacation in Athens, as it is only located about 70 minutes away from the city by car. The splendid rocky promontory that rises out of the Aegean is the place where the Temple of Poseidon, one of the most significant archeological sites in Greece can be found.

Temple of Poseidon
This place was emotionally important for the Athenians, as this was the last point of their land that the ancient Athenian sea farers and warriors could see when they sailed away into the Aegean and around the Mediterranean Sea and also this was the first spot of Attica to see when they returned from the journey or war. That is why the Athenians decided to built a temple there, dedicated to Poseidon, the god of the sea, to give them nice sea trips so that they would come back home safe.
