Description
Spend a day at cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon, one of the major monuments of the Golden Age of Athens, where the sunny Greek sky meets the Aegean Sea, at the southernmost tip of Attica. The panoramic view of the Saronic Gulf is quite impressing.
This amazing temple of the classical period was constructed between 444 and 440 BC on the ruins of an archaic temple, and was considered a holy place, especially for sailors.
Nowadays, the two eastern porches and several of the columns of the eastern part of the temple are preserved, while the western part is almost destroyed. In the area you will admire the great Ionic temple of Athena, a smaller Doric temple.
