Cape Sunyu is known as the "ends of the earth" in southeastern Europe, and the famous Poseidon Sea Temple is located on the sea cliffs of Cape Sunyu. Drive from Athens and drive 69 kilometers along the beautiful Saronic Gulf to see the ruins of the Poseidon Sea Temple built in the 5th century BC.

Just got back from an incredible day trip to Cape Sounion, and it’s a must-see if you're visiting Athens! 🏛️ The Temple of Poseidon sits right on the edge of the cliff, with the Aegean Sea stretching endlessly below. The entrance fee is around 10 euros, but trust me, it’s worth every cent. Standing among the ancient ruins, especially at sunset, is nothing short of magical 🌅. The golden light hitting the columns while the waves crash below is something I’ll never forget.
There’s also a small beach nearby where I took a quick dip—it’s not too crowded, and the water is crystal clear. Afterward, I grabbed a coffee at a taverna with a sea view. It’s about an hour’s drive from Athens, and you can stop by the Lavrio port if you have time. Cape Sounion is perfect for history lovers and anyone who wants to experience a little slice of ancient Greece with stunning views.
