Cape Sounion

Escape the city and follow the glittering Athenian Riviera along the coastal road. Pass the beautiful beaches of Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza as you head toward the southernmost tip of Attica — Cape Sounion.

Along the way, enjoy sweeping views of the Saronic Gulf and the islands scattered offshore.

The journey culminates at the Temple of Poseidon, where the white marble columns of this iconic 5th-century BC sanctuary rise dramatically above the Aegean.

After exploring the temple, take time to wander at your own pace across the rocky promontory of Sounion, absorbing the open sea views and the timeless atmosphere of this legendary headland.
