On today, our last day with our long-suffering, reliable, and remarkably robust VW Passat, we went from Elefsina around Athens to Sounio to see the Temple of Poseidon, and a bonus Temple of Athena. The incredible beauty of the cape of this peninsula can only be expressed with pictures, and the impressive remains of once great temple are still imposing on the horizon.
(View of the inlet as we climbed to the temple)
(Rock islands near and far in azure water from the fortress wall at the top of the hill)
(Deep blue waters on the rocky shores directly below the temple hill)
(And finally, no better place for a temple to Poseidon)
