Situated at the tip of the Attica peninsula, Cape Sounion is rich in historical significance. First mentioned in the Odyssey, it is home to the Temple of Poseidon, dedicated to the Greek god. Start your journey from Athens with a scenic drive along the Athens Riviera, passing the Saronic Gulf; Hellinikon Olympic complex; and Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza suburbs. Visit the Temple of Poseidon, surrounded on three sides by the Aegean Sea, and watch the sun set over the horizon.
