Cape Sounion

Cape Sounion is one of the most scenic places in Attica, Greece. Visitors and archeological enthusiasts come here to see the Temple of Poseidon and the temple dedicated to Athena the goddess of wisdom. Though the statue of Poseidon is on view at the Archeological Museum in Athens, much of the columns to his temple still stand on the bluff overlooking the Cape. This is also an excellent spot for viewing the spectacular Greek sunsets.
