Poseidon Temple at Cape Sounio
We leave Athens for a wonderful drive along the scenic coastal road -- known as the Riviera of Attica -- which affords a splendid view of the Saronic Gulf. The route passes through some of Athen’s most beautiful suburbs to Cape Sounio, a precipitous rocky headland rising 60m out of the sea. On the highest point of the headland are the columns of the Temple of Poseidon, with exceptionally slender Doric columns, constructed of local marble, with 16 flutings instead of the usual 20. From the Temple of Poseidon you can enjoy one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in the world. If the tour is taken in the afternoon, the sunset is a sight not to be missed.
