Got 3 treatments in the span of 2 days because I enjoyed it so much. One full body core therapy massage, one cleansing facial and a shorter core therapy massage on my back. The ambience is very relaxing, the staff are professional and polite and I would recommend this place to everyone!

Temple of Poseidon

Reviewed By ImmerWandern - Palos Heights, United States

Be sure to time your arrival for about an hour before sunset in order that you have time to explore the site and walk around to admire the temple from all angles before claiming your spot at the edge of the cliff to enjoy the sunset. The park staff are very strict about clearing out the site right as the sun drops below the horizon. Thing was, the best part of the light show came once the sun was down. Do not leave right away; the temple will be lit up about 30 minutes after sunset. Cape Sounion is the southernmost tip of the Attica Peninsula. It looks out onto shipping routes to Athens’ Piraeus harbor. Not unlike the Acropolis this rocky outcropping was devoted to Poseidon and Athena; unlike in Athens, however, Poseidon ruled here. The sanctuary of Athena once stood at a point to the northeast but was dismantled by the time of the Roman Empire while the Poseidon's Temple was left standing proud. The similarity to the Athens Acropolis extended to its having been a fortress and a means for Athenians to guard and control the approaches to its port. The builder of Poseidon's Temple is thought to be the same one that build the Temple of Hephaestus in the Agora below the Acropolis. Just like the Parthenon the temple was built to replace one destroyed by the Persians under Xerxes, also during the mid-5th Century BC. There is a legend associated with this site involving King Minos of Crete, the legendary Minotaur, King Aegeus and Theseus. King Minos of Crete demanded that the city-state of Athens pay an annual tribute of 7 young men and women to be fed to the dreaded Minotaur housed in the Labyrinth underneath the royal palace in Knossos. The king of Athens, Aegeus, had only one son, Theseus. This young man, already a legend in the making, volunteered for the sacrifice and went to Crete against his father's wishes. His plan was to find a way to slay the Minotaur. Enjoying the special treat of nature's light show. A ridiculous 'technicolor' Copper River salmon pink! Speaking of colors, King Aegeus and Theseus made an arrangement that when Theseus' ship returned it would fly white sails if he had survived, black sails if not. Theseus would have to sail past this headland on the way back to Athens, so King Aegeus is reputed to have set up camp here and monitored the seas for the return of his son. In Crete the daughter of King Minos, Ariadne, fell in love with Theseus and helped him find the way back out of the Labyrinth using a ball of string. She fled with Theseus and joined him on the ship to Athens. Theseus and his crew stopped on the island of Naxos. There they either searched for water or celebrated their victory. Regardless they all fell asleep, exhausted at the end of the day. The following day the crew set off, somehow leaving Ariadne behind. Furthermore it somehow took Theseus too long to realize she'd been left behind and there was no going back for her. Thoroughly distraught he forgot to have the crew change the sails to the white ones before approaching Athens. King Aegeus was overcome with grief when he saw the approaching ship bearing black sails. Such was his despair at the loss of his only son he threw himself off the cliffs. Hence the Aegean Sea, the waters here named in his honor.

Excellent place to swim in the middle of the winter. Chose a day when atmosphere temperature is around 20 degree (the Lake water temperature is always around 20 in the winter) and you will have nice beach experience including comfortable sunbathing. There are all facilities that you need at such a place. Water is quite refreshing and not cold at all and provide very comfortable swimming.

Sounio Beach

Sounio beach is a well organized sandy beach with many facilities to visitors including umbrellas with sunbeds under price, beach bar, showers, W.C. and free parking.

Reviewed By Shishir_pant - Helsinki, Finland

Its a nice beach, worth spending a day at the beach and move to temple in the evening to see the sun set. I recommend taking a bus rather than a guided tour. You will get more flexibility and save a lot of money.

Astir Beach

Reviewed By GM640

Great beach, lovely warm beautiful sea for swimming. We arrived about 10.30 on a week day and got two sunbeds in the front row for 30 euros, so good value. I think pre booking and weekends are more expensive. Nice lunch and lovely staff. Food and drinks can be delivered to your sunbed if you require by pressing a call button. A great way to spend the day, facilities are great, good showers, hairdryers etc. We watched the sun go down an amazing view from our sunbeds!
