Cape Sounion & Temple of Poseidon Sunset Spanish tour

Leaving Athens and driving through Sygrou and Poseidon avenues and crossing the entire Athenian Riviera with its beautiful neighborhoods and beaches such as Glyfada, Voula, Vouliagmeni, Varkiza, we arrive at Cape Sounion, where we visit the Temple of Poseidon, dedicated to the god of sea. In antiquity, this was an important strategic point, from which the city-state of Athens controlled the sea passage to the Aegean and Piraeus. Enjoy the view, reaching all the way out to Aegean Sea and closer islands and watch as the sun slowly disappears into the Saronic Gulf, gradually creating shades of purple along the horizon. You simply cannot miss the thrill of watching the sunset from the southernmost tip of Attica. The route from Athens, along the Athenian Riviera, is beautiful; the scenery at Cape Sounio, breathtaking; the ancient temple of Poseidon, god of the sea, standing on top of the rock, just majestic. Evenings here more often than not end with a spontaneous applause to the sun as it dives to the sea.
