TEMPLE OF POSEIDON



The Temple of Poseidon, built in the 5th century, is in Doric style. Located at the top of the hill that juts out into the sea, it's a fitting place for its namesake. People used to scribble graffiti on the columns (the most famous by Lord Byron) but you can't do that now since the place is fenced off. We took a bus from downtown Athens and arrived 2 hours later just in time to watch the sunset over the Aegean Sea. Beautiful place to be.

Location: Sounion, Greece
