• Avenue of Poseidon (Poseidonos) - As you journey towards the Temple of Poseidon, you will have the chance to take in the southern suburbs of Athens, including Old Faliron, Alimos, and Glyfada. These areas are renowned as some of the most upscale in Attica. Additionally, travelers can enjoy the Attica coastline, dotted with private and public marinas, shops, and cafes. The trip to Cape Sounion takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Glyfada - Known as the capital of the Athens Riviera, Glyfada offers breathtaking views of the Saronic Gulf. This is why Glyfada is the ultimate summer hotspot for Athenians! Its marina, a destination for mega-yachts, adds a cosmopolitan flair to the area. Beautiful beaches, recreation parks, playgrounds, shopping centers, and stylish restaurants all contribute to a carefree summer atmosphere.
• Lake Vouliagmeni - A brief stop for photos will be made at Vouliagmeni Lake. This lagoon formed around 2,000 years ago, originally a large cavern that collapsed after an earthquake. The outline of the collapsed cavern roof is clearly visible from afar. The lake has unique environmental conditions: it is fed with warm seawater (28-35ºCelsius) through an underground channel that extends through a network of flooded caves, maintaining a temperature that never falls below 18 °C (usually around 21-24 °C), while a freshwater spring reduces its salinity to brackish levels (14.5-18 psu). Due to its consistently warm water and rich hydrogen sulfide content, the lake has functioned as a spa since the late 19th century.
• Varkiza - Varkiza is a charming seaside village halfway to Cape Sounion. The area is very popular among Athenians for short trips due to its beaches, shops, and clubs.
• Lagonisi - Lagonisi is a coastal residential area in the southern part of Kalyvia Thorikou in East Attica. It is located near the shore on a peninsula by the Saronic Gulf. Restaurants, cafes, and bars are primarily found in the heart of Lagonisi. The return journey to Athens takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Sounio Beach - Sounio Beach features crystal-clear waters, golden sands, and breathtaking views beneath the Temple of Poseidon. It is a tranquil spot to relax, swim, and enjoy the natural beauty of the Athenian coastline, just moments away from one of Greece’s most iconic landmarks.
• Temple of Poseidon - The Temple of Poseidon is perched atop a hill, precisely where the Saronic Sea meets the Aegean Sea. Dedicated to the god Poseidon, the lord of the sea, sailors would offer a final sacrifice here to appease Poseidon before venturing beyond the safety of the Saronic Gulf. According to Greek mythology, Cape Sounion is where King Aegeus of Greece leapt to his death, mistakenly believing his son had perished. This ancient tragic tale continues to resonate in modern storytelling.
