What to expect
At Cape Sounion, you’ll explore the cliffside viewpoint surrounding the Temple of Poseidon—one of the most striking landmarks of ancient Greece. While entry to the temple is not included, the grounds offer unobstructed views of its Doric columns, the Aegean Sea, and the very cliff where Lord Byron carved his name.
