Description
Sunion is a magical place where ancient history meets breathtaking views. The majestic 5th century BC Temple of Poseidon, perched on the cliffs, offers a panorama of the blue Aegean Sea that is stunning at any time of day.
The site is steeped in mythology - it was from here that the Athenian king, Egeus, threw himself into the sea upon seeing the black sails of his son Theseus' ship.
The nearby beaches with crystal-clear waters are the perfect springboard after sightseeing. Local tavernas serve traditional Greek delicacies to complete the experience of this unique corner of Greece.
