Temple of Poseidon

EO91, Lavreotiki 195 00, Greece

Heading south from Athens is many scenic sights to see. There are many small cities south of Athens boasting great architecture and a variety of restaurants and resorts.  Several small beaches down the coast of Greece provide rest and relxation. Each beach is accompanied by a resort or beach bar/shack where you can grab a bite, a drink, and rent an umbrella.

One hour from the city of Athens we came to Cape Sounion in Sounio. Cape Sounion is known for the Temple of Poseidon. The Temple stands alone about 200ft above the sea.

Entry will cost you 8€. You can enter the site anytime between 9am and sunset.

The climb is not too difficult before you begin to see magnificent views of the city below.

The Temple is filled with columns and views from all angles. As you explore the temple you can see clear blue Aegean Sea all around.

The cliffs offer perfect backdrops for photos.

As you head back down there is a restaurant, gift shop, and restroom for visitors.

Sunio beach is located just down the mountain. After visiting the Temple, you can enjoy a nice swim, there are plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas to rent.

The Temple of Poseidon is another piece of architecture worth seeing. It is only an hour from Athens, offering fantastic scenic views on the way. The view from the top makes the trip well worth it.

    One thing I want to say is car insurance cancellations is a terrifying experience and if you’re doing the best things as a driver you will not get one. Some individuals do get the notice that they are officially dumped by their particular insurance company they then have to scramble to get further insurance after a cancellation. Inexpensive auto insurance rates usually are hard to get after the cancellation. Having the main reasons pertaining to auto insurance cancellation can help motorists prevent completely losing in one of the most essential privileges offered. Thanks for the strategies shared through your blog.

    Good article. It is quite unfortunate that over the last years, the travel industry has had to fight terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, bird flu virus, swine flu, as well as first ever real global recession. Through it the industry has proven to be powerful, resilient and dynamic, locating new approaches to deal with misfortune. There are generally fresh troubles and opportunities to which the marketplace must once again adapt and react.
