The temple of Athena was built in 470 BCE to replace an earlier building which was destroyed early in the 6th century BCE.The temenos of Athena Sounia is built on a low hill in Sounion, a short distance from the better preserved and more visible Temple of Poseidon. Very little of the temple of Athena or the sanctuary remains on site today besides traces of foundations and bases of columns and statue. | Cape Sounion in Greece

The journey to get here is half the fun, as the winding road hugs the dramatic coastline, offering sensational views of the Aegean Sea. When you finally reach the cape, you’ll find the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon, one of the most significant archaeological sites in Greece. The views from the temple are simply breathtaking, with the deep blue sea stretching out as far as the eye can see. After soaking up the views, be sure to wander down to the beach for a swim or a spot of sunbathing. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even take a swim to the nearby island of Moni.
