One of the most famous archaeological sites of Greece is the Temple of Poseidon in Sounio, south-east of Athens.

The Grecotel Cape Sounio literally clings to the side of a pine-clad hillside with panoramic views over this ancient monument.

Behind the hotel is the Sounio National Park and below the hotel are two bays (one sandy and the other is shingle) which are approached via tunnels under the road (ancient river path).

The buildings are set in an amphitheatre shape allowing exhilarating views of the Temple of Poseidon and the sea from most guestrooms and public areas.
