In an hour you will be at the southernmost point of Attica, and the transparent columns of the majestic Temple of Poseidon on the rocky ledges of Cape Sounion will remind us of Lord Byron, who loved to watch the sunsets here.

You can finally take a dip in the long-awaited turquoise sea at a nearby beach and settle in at a tavern by the water to recapture the taste of the cool house wine with which it is customary to wash down fried calamari, grilled octopus and rustic Greek salad with feta.

Short photo stop by the thermal radon lake. And if you went on a trip in the cold season, bathing on the beach at Cape Sounion, will be a pleasant substitute for swimming in the lake, whose water temperature throughout the year is kept at around 20-22 degrees.

You can also choose a hotel at the foot of the Acropolis. But don't forget that you have to park your car overnight. In addition, the historic center of Athens is gradually becoming a large pedestrian zone, and many streets simply cannot be accessed by the car now. Therefore, I suggest you book a hotel with your own parking in the center as well, but a little further. Check-in, dinner in a nearby tavern, and rest.
