- 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 combination of the Attic region’s natural beauty and the splendor of art and architecture.
Perched atop a cliff nearly 72 meters above the sea, the awe-inspiring Temple of Poseidon has been praised by countless scholars and writers over the ages. It is also the fabled spot where Aegeas, the mythical king of Athens, plunged into the sea, thus giving the Aegean Sea its name.
- Lake Vouliagmeni - Located just south of the city and a stone’s throw from the ocean, one can discover an unusual geological wonder that has lent the area its contemporary moniker: Lake Vouliagmeni, or “Sunken Lake.” This small, slightly saline lake is replenished by subterranean streams that flow from Mount Hymettus. The lake’s consistently mild water temperature, around 24 degrees Celsius, allows it to serve as a natural spa throughout the year.
