On the shore, below the cape
The Aegeon Beach Hotel is on the same shore of Sounion bay, at the foot of the cape, and has two places to eat: the Aegeon Taverna, a taverna with a covered terrace, and The Veranda, an open-air à la carte restaurant with a view of the Aegean and the temple of Poseidon. Beside the sand there are also two beach bars.
Who it is for
For anyone who has spent the day on Sounion beach and does not want to take the car before sunset, or to dine after coming down from the temple without going back to Athens hungry. The hotel's website publishes neither the menu nor the hours: it is a beach-hotel taverna, with what you would expect of it, and it is worth calling beforehand out of season.
Getting there
It is at kilometre 68 of the Athens – Sounion avenue, a few minutes from the site car park. KTEL buses to Sounion pass along the bay road.
What to order: something grilled and a salad on the terrace, before or after going up to the temple
