5 hotels in Sounio: Best hotel deals for 2023

August 20, 2022 Nobuko Falco

Sunset is the best time to arrive at the 5th-century-B.C. Temple of the mythical sea God Poseidon. Perched on cliffs above Cape Sounio, the temple ruins, surrounded on three sides by sea, have stunning views out over the Aegean. It was mentioned in Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. More recently, English Romantic poet Lord Byron visited this atmospheric spot in 1811 and inscribed his name at the base of one of the temple's Doric columns.

Cape Sounio, Grecotel Exclusive Resort

One of the most famous archaeological sites of Greece is the Temple of Poseidon in Sounio, south-east of Athens. The Grecotel Cape Sounio literally clings to the side of a pine-clad hillside with panoramic views over this ancient monument. Behind the hotel is the Sounio National Park and below the hotel are two bays (one sandy and the other is shingle) which are approached via tunnels under the road (ancient river path). The buildings are set in an amphitheatre shape allowing exhilarating views of the Temple of Poseidon and the sea from most guestrooms and public areas.

A real 5 star experience with a view

Really excellent stay in this luxury hotel with a phantastic view, a true 5 star experience. From the welcome to the room, the beach, the dinner, room service and checkout - all is really well serviced. Anything you ask for, it will be provided. We highly recommend this hotel, and are thankful for this experience. We were particularly luckily as we got an upgrade to the honeymoon suite and the view on the Poseidon temple is just breathtaking.

Not luxurious, but still a great hotel!

We were winging this vacation and booking things on the fly. We came across this hotel and asked for a room. Although she was pretty full, she found us a room. This is an older hotel but it was clean, roomy, and comfortable. We had a huge balcony facing the ocean. This hotel has a laid back vibe, so if you are up tight, look else where. The front desk lady, owner?, was really cool. She helped us to order food (because the menu was all in Greek) and when it was delivered, she just paid for it for us and we settled it up later. It was close to the beach, which we thoroughly enjoyed, and it had a fantastic, huge pool, especially for a hotel. The pool was clean and was a good temperature. There was a good amount of parking just behind our room. We thought it was priced well for that area.

Poseidon Beach Villas

In the outskirts of Athens, in Sounion area, barely 30 meters from the sea, we transformed a long lost hotel and a piece of land, into a small paradise of summer houses and high quality flats. For people that want to escape, it is ideally located underneath the ancient temple of Poseidon. The place where the ancient legend of Theseus ended, and where the name "Aegean Pelagos" came to be. There are more than fifteen Private houses and flats, each one with its own spectacular view. Each house can accommodate from 4 to 6 people and each one of them is luxury furnished. Sounion area is located barely 10 minutes with car from the nearest town and port, called Laurion and 1 hour from the Airport of Eleftherios Venizelos. Among wood hill and the spectacular see, Sounio is a unique spot to spend your holidays and have a relaxing time. If you have any questions about the house or the area, do not hesitate to contact us!

Pasha Bay Residence

Worst attitude ever meet in Greece

Reviewed By L4678GEdanielc

We were hosted in other location (without prior notice). After 3 days we had to move (4 adults and 4 kids), mainly to the bad attitude of mrs Okasana. The only good think was the moving to other location (were we had the warm wellcoming as we know Greece). Thank you for making us to leave, with the unfriendly attitude. The villa was ok, but not at its best ( bad smell in the dark rooms basement). Well equiped, unconfortable beds, everything old but usable We went to the beach by car (are 300 in straight line, but with hard acces)

Un grand appartement vraiment bien équipé à quelques kilomètres du Cap Sounio. Un accueil bien sympathique. Un rapport qualité prix très intéressant. Il ne manque absolument rien dans l'appartement. Calme et plage à 200 m.. Vraiment super
