  • The 5th-century BC temple is one of the few ever built to Poseidon. After watching the sunset from the remaining white marble pillars of this ancient site on the peak of Cape Sounio – silhouetted by the incomparable iridescent blue of the Aegean – you may share the sentiments of the poet Byron. He asked the gods simply to “Place me on Suniom’s marbled steep, Where nothing save the waves and I, May hear our mutual murmurs sweep, There, swanlike, let me sing and die.” (see Temple of Poseidon)
