Venture atop the jagged cliffs of Cape Sounion to visit the ancient Temple of Poseidon—and glimpse one of the most dramatic coastal views in Greece. Organized outings from Athens follow the scenic Saronic Gulf coastline to reach the marble ruins. Once you’ve arrived at the site, a professional guide will explain the temple’s maritime significance and its connection to the legend of King Aegeus as you explore the sanctuary grounds and photograph Doric columns. Most itineraries are timed to catch the sunset over the water before returning to the capital.
