Leave Athens for a wonderful drive along the scenic coastal road which affords a splendid view of the Saronic Gulf passing through some of Athens' most beautiful suburbs (Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, Varzika) as well as countless caves. The ancient Greeks certainly knew how to choose a temple location, as Cape Sounion is a remarkable site. With arrival to Cape Sounion, you will visit the 5th century B.C. temple of Poseidon with one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in the world and on a clear day you can see at least seven islands. After visiting the Temple of Poseidon, you have time to walk at leisure on the rocky promontory of Sounion. The Doric columns of local marble have 16 flutings instead of the usual 20. The precipice is a sheer 197 foot drop to the sea.
