- Temple of Poseidon - Embark on a journey from Athens to the captivating Cape Sounion, situated just a 90-minute drive from the city. This location offers visitors a breathtaking panorama of the Attic scenery, showcasing a harmonious blend of natural splendor and artistic architectural achievements.
Perched atop a cliff nearly 72 meters above the sea, the awe-inspiring Temple of Poseidon has been praised by countless intellectuals and writers over the ages. It is also the fabled spot where Aegeas, the mythical king of Athens, plunged into the depths, thus bestowing his name upon the Aegean Sea.
- Lake Vouliagmeni - Nestled immediately south of the town and adjacent to the coastline, one can discover an unusual geological wonder that has lent the neighborhood its contemporary moniker: Lake Vouliagmeni, or “Sunken Lake.” This unique body of slightly saline water is replenished by subterranean streams that flow from Mount Hymettus. The lake’s perpetually mild and inviting water temperature, averaging around 24 degrees Celsius, allows it to serve as a natural spa throughout the year.
