5Cape Sounion – The Temple of Poseidon

On a dramatic cliff overlooking the Aegean Sea stands the Temple of Poseidon, dedicated to the god of the sea. This iconic temple was where sailors prayed to Poseidon for safe voyages.

Today, it is an uninhabited archaeological site, with ruins that reveal its importance as a spiritual and cultural hub. Walking among the Lion Terrace, the House of Dionysus, and the Sanctuary of Apollo, visitors are transported into the mythological world of divine birth and worship.
