Itinerary
Athens Riviera is the coastal area in the southern suburbs of Athens, Greece from Piraeus to Sounio.It is located about 16 km (9.9 mi) from downtown Athens stretching from the southern suburbs of Athens to the southernmost point of Attica, Cape Sounio.
Cape Sounion is one of the most impressive seafront locations not to miss during your vacation in Athens, as it is only located about 70 minutes away from the city by car. The splendid rocky promontory that rises out of the Aegean is the place where the Temple of Poseidon, one of the most significant archeological sites in Greece can be found.
This place was emotionally important for the Athenians, as this was the last point of their land that the ancient Athenian sea farers and warriors could see when they sailed away into the Aegean and around the Mediterranean Sea and also this was the first spot of Attica to see when they returned from the journey or war. That is why the Athenians decided to built a temple there, dedicated to Poseidon, the god of the sea, to give them nice sea trips so that they would come back home safe.

About Athens
Athens sets the Acropolis above a sprawling modern capital, where ancient ruins, hillside lanes and long taverna evenings sit side by side.
The Parthenon crowns the Acropolis, flanked by the Erechtheion and its porch of caryatids, and the Acropolis Museum at the foot of the hill displays sculpture found on the rock. Around it, the Ancient Agora, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian's Arch and the marble Panathenaic Stadium make the classical city easy to walk through.
Top-ranked sights in Athens: Acropolis, Parthenon, Acropolis Museum.
