Did you know? Cape Sounion
The Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, built around 440 BCE, stands on a 60-metre cliff and was a landmark for ancient sailors navigating the Aegean Sea.
Lord Byron carved his name into one of the marble columns of the Temple of Poseidon during his 1810–1811 visit to Greece, a graffito that remains visible today.
Cape Sounion is the southernmost point of Attica and marks where the Aegean Sea meets the Saronic Gulf, making it a natural turning point for ancient maritime routes.
Only 16 of the temple's original 34 Doric columns remain standing after earthquakes and centuries of weathering, yet it remains one of Greece's most recognizable ancient monuments.
The sunsets at Cape Sounion are so dramatic that the site receives thousands of visitors daily during summer, with peak crowds typically between 5–7 PM.
