The Route: Athens Airport to Cape Sounion

Journey time is typically 50–60 minutes under normal conditions.
Cape Sounion: Where Poseidon Meets the Aegean
Cape Sounion has been a sacred site since at least the 7th century BC. The Temple of Poseidon that stands today was built around 444 BC — the same period as the Parthenon — and its 15 surviving Doric columns are visible from the sea for miles around. Key highlights include:
- Temple of Poseidon (444 BC): Built from local white marble, the temple originally had 34 Doric columns. 15 remain standing today, including one bearing a carving attributed to Lord Byron.
- The clifftop setting: The temple sits on a sheer cliff 60 meters above the sea with views to Aegina, Kea, Kythnos, and Serifos.
- Sunset views: Cape Sounion is one of the finest sunset spots in Greece.
