Travel with us along the coast, to the southernmost tip of the peninsula of
Attica, Cape Sounion. A getaway that is very close to Athens and it is
famous for its beaches, fish restaurants and the striking ruins of the
Temple of Poseidon. Set high on the promontory, the temple forms part of
a triangle of ancient sites, including the Acropolis and the Temple of
Aphaea on Aegina. They are all equal distances from eachother as the
crow flies, and on a clear day maybe you will be able to see the other
two monuments. Sounio is also where Aegeus tragically fell from the
cliffs when he saw the black sails that his son Theseus had forgotten to
change and thought that he was dead. The Aegean sea was thus named
after him. It is a beautiful place to watch the sunset, the white marble
columns framed by the sky and the lovely blue sea!
