    Temple of Poseidon at Sounion

    The dramatic temple on Cape Sounion marks the southeastern tip of Attica, where Athenians watched for ships returning from wine trade. Sunset here is legendary - Lord Byron carved his name on a column. Wine offerings to Poseidon ensured safe maritime trade. The perfect end to an Attica wine day.
