    Our journey to Sounio start at 10:00 o'clock in the morning from city center of Athens.The distance from Athens to sounio is 70km.Its about one hour and thirty minutes drive by the coast line of Attica Riviera. Sounio is in north side of Athens. Before Sounio we will pass from the area of Glifada, Voula and Vouliagmeni.We will make a short stop for photos at lake of Vouliagmeni, a beautiful natural lake between the rocks. After that we continue our journey again by the coast line until we arrive to Sounio.In Sounio we will stay for one hour to visit the temple of Poseidon and enjoy our coffee in the coffe shop near the temple with the best sea view. After that we will depart from Sounio and in about twenty minutes will be in Palaia Fokea, a very nice place with coffe shops, restaurants and Greek tavernas in front of the sea. We will have three hours free time there, for swimming and lunch. Around 16:00 we will start our way back to Athens along the sea side.

    Temple of Poseidon

    The ancient Greek temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, built during 444–440 BC, is one of the major monuments of the Golden Age of Athens. A Doric temple, it overlooks the sea at the end of Cape Sounion, at a height of almost 60 metres (200 ft). It was constructed in 444–440 BC. This was during the ascendancy of the Athenian statesman Pericles, who also rebuilt the Parthenon in Athens. It was built on the ruins of a temple dating from the Archaic period. Strabo noted: "Geraistos [in Euboia] . . . is conveniently situated for those who are sailing across from Asia to Attica, since it comes near to Sounion. It has a temple of Poseidon, the most notable of those in that part of the world, and also a noteworthy settlement."
