In a country that the Sea is worshiped as a mother and as a mistress, it was only logical that a Temple should be dedicated to Poseidon, ruler of the Sea, friend and foe of every mariner.
Timeless, the temple had watched thousands of sunsets along with its visitors… whispering ancient stories.
But Cape Sounio is also a symbol of a father’s grief and despair when losing a Son to a War… as Aegeas, when he thought he would never see Theseas face again.
The area of Sounio along with the temple of Poseidon is a mystic doorway into mythical parables, ancient glory and natural beauty, all merged in a typical Mediterranean dramatic scenery.
