After relaxing beach and pool time in Glyfada, our group made the trek to Cape Sounia where there resides the remains of a once beautiful temple to the Greek god of the Sea, Poseidon. The hill on which the temple was constructed overlooks the gulf and has always been a landmark for sailors throughout history. After our visit, we drove to a little town along the coast where we enjoyed much delicious food; all while taking in the sights and sounds of the sea.

Today we went to Sounio, the southernmost part of Attika. Despite the cloudy weather, the beach was beautiful with some of the clearest water I’ve ever seen. After the beach we visited the Temple if Poseidon, overlooking the sea and the supposed place where king Aegeas threw himself into the sea, thus giving the name of the Aegean Sea. I couldn’t believe the view so yet again, this trip has surprised me in the very best way possible.
