Set on the southernmost tip of the Attica Peninsula, Cape Sounio in Greece is a place where myth and nature converge in a striking tableau. The ancient Temple of Poseidon stands as a sentinel above the deep blue of the Aegean Sea, its marble columns illuminated by the pure light of the Mediterranean sun. As the waves lap gently along the beaches of the bay below, one can almost hear the whispers of ancient mariners and the distant echoes of Homeric legends. This sacred promontory, steeped in history and imbued with a profound sense of divinity, offers a panorama that stirs the soul and ignites the imagination, making it an indelible part of Greece’s rich tapestry of wonders.
Hidden within a pristine pine grove on the other side of the bay, Grecotel Cape Sounio resort is the embodiment of the soul of the Riviera. Gracing one of the Mediterranean's most emblematic beachfront locations, the resort's grounds span more than 24 acres to include two beaches, verdant gardens, and an archaeological site — all facing the dramatic silhouette of the temple perched atop the cliffs. Here, heartfelt hospitality meets personal indulgence and rejuvenation, within an opulent estate where the sea shimmers playfully behind the foliage, and every moment brings the promise of something extraordinary.
