  • Temple of Poseidon
    Built between 444 and 440 BC, the temple was constructed of white marble quarried locally at lavreotic Olympus mountain, about 20km north of Cape Sounion . The architect is thought to be Iktinos, who built the Temple of Hephaestus in the Ancient agora in Athens. He built the 38 columns (16 still standing today) at the Temple of Poseidon in a way that ensured they would stand the test of time and resist the harshness of the environment, and made the Doric columns extra slender at the top so they would look taller from distance. In the Odyssey, Homer wrote that Sounion was the place where King Menelaus of Sparta buried his helmsman, who died at his post while rounding the cape. Alternatively, you should know that the views of the sunset from the temple are considered one of the best sights in all of Greece.
