Cape Sounion is famous not only because of its great beaches, the sunset on the Saronic Gulf, but also of the remnants of the great Temple of Poseidon (the Greek God of the Seas). Having been associated with the seas, it is deemed fit to construct the temple at the water's edge. This ruined ancient temple was made of marble and has 42 doric columns, but only 16 remains today.
