Cape Sounion, Greece, on Attica's southern tip, is where you'll find the well-preserved, fifth-century-BC Doric Temple of Poseidon. Its location on a cliff, 43 mi/69 km southeast of Athens, ensures fabulous sunset views (it's also a great place to be when the moon's full). It's one of Greece's most breathtaking and romantic spots.
Enjoy a drive along the Saronic Gulf through great little towns and past pleasant beaches, and then end the day by ordering a seafood dinner in one of the local restaurants.
