Sounio is famous for the ruins of the ancient Temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea in classical mythology. The remains are perched on the headland, surrounded on three sides by the sea, creating one of the most dramatic coastal archaeological settings in Greece.


The ruins also bear the deeply engraved name of English Romantic poet Lord Byron (1788-1823). The site remains one of the most popular day excursions from Athens, especially for the sought-after sunset over the Aegean Sea.
