A whole resort looking at the temple
Cape Sounio occupies a pine-covered slope on the bay west of the cape, and almost everything faces the temple of Poseidon, which you see head-on across the water. You stay in bungalows, suites and villas scattered through the pine wood, many with a private pool. Below it has three private beaches on the Aegean, a large pool, a renovated spa with a gym with a sea view and eight restaurants and bars, among them the Aegean Grill, beside the pool, and Yali, on the shore.
Getting there
It is at kilometre 67 of the Athens – Sounion road. According to the hotel, it is about 40 minutes from Athens airport, 50 from the centre and 10 from Lavrio port, from where ferries leave for Kea and some Cyclades. Without a car you depend on taxis or transfers: KTEL buses pass along the road, but the resort is large and on a slope.
Who it is for
For one or two nights of luxury at the end or start of a trip to Greece, near the airport and away from the noise of Athens. It is among the most expensive places to stay in Attica; the hotel does not publish fixed rates, and offers change by season. It has offers for families, but the spa pool is for over-16s only.
