Less than an hour’s drive from Glyfada, the Temple of Poseidon in Sounion is a unique place in the hearts of visitors. Built at the same time as the Parthenon, during Athens’ Golden Age, the temple dedicated to the sea god himself, positioned high above the sea on the southeastern tip of Attica – it was an indication for sailors returning to Piraeus that they were almost home. The Temple of Poseidon captivates its visitors and combines a visit at the archaeological site with time at the nearby Cape Beach. At the end of the day, you’ll be treated with the aura of the temple and with one of the most spectacular sunsets.
