The Temple of Poseidon Sunset Tour involves exploring the temple that is housed within a fort that guards Attica's coastline and is located at the southernmost point of the Sounio Peninsula. It was constructed in the middle of the 5th century BC in honor of Poseidon, the sea god, and is entirely made of white marble. The shades of blues, reds, and oranges that envelop the temple as the sun sinks into the water will mesmerize you. One of many who succumbed to its charm was the British poet Lord Byron, who wrote poetry in praise of it and had his name inscribed on one of its recognisable marble pillars.
To get to the historic site of Temple of Poseidon Sunset Tour, take the roads along the southern Attica coastline.
