O que fazer em Temple of Poseidon
The Temple of Poseidon is a place of beauty, mystery and wonder. Perched on a rocky spur on the coast of Cape Sounion, it’s considered one of the best-preserved ancient temples in all of Greece, and amongst the most important monuments from the Golden Age of Athens.
Built in 444 BC using marble from the nearby valley of Agrilesa, the architectural masterpiece is dedicated to the Greek god of Poseidon and resembles the well-preserved Temple of Hephaestus. Originally, it consisted of 34 Doric-style columns adorned with intricate carvings, but only 16 of these remain standing. As you explore the site, admire the craftsmanship and details of the remarkable structure while soaking up a sense of history and wonder.
Around an hour’s drive from Athens, the Temple of Poseidon makes for a perfect day trip from the Greek capital. Whether you’re a history buff or simply wanting to marvel at impressive architecture with sweeping views of the Aegean Sea, this place is worth a visit.

Avaliações Temple of Poseidon
“Highly recommended tour.”
“We had an amazing adventure. The guide on the bus was full of information for us while we were driving there. We ate a quick dinner when we arrived then entered the area for some amazing photo opportunities. Lots of amazing sunset pictures. So serene. Then the drive back was very smooth.”
“Buona l'organizzazione, ho contattato la key tour via mail e mi ha fornito il luogo, vicino al mio Hotel dove trovarci per poi partire con il pullman.Bravissima la guida (Caterina?!) ci ha raccontato moltissime cose interessanti già lasciando Atene e poi a Capo Sounio.”
