Lake Vouliagmeni - Starting from Athens and driving by the coastal Poseidon Avenue for about 70 km all by the sea, we will be crossing the south suburbs of Athens, which makes this journey one of the best around the prefecture of Attica. This drive fills you with beautiful images of the sea glittering from the sunlight along the small sandy beaches.
A necessary stop is the Vouliagmeni Lake with its healing mineral underground springs and its unique beauty.
Lake Vouliagmeni, literally means “sunken”, as it was created after the roof of an underground cave colapsed. It is now a beautiful lake, located near the sea and in fact connected with it. its water, fed with hot water by underground thermal springs, is beneficial for the skin and bones. -
Temple of Poseidon - After an hour we will finally reach the south edge of Attica, Cape Sounio, where the Athenians in 440 BC built the temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea.
The Temple of Poseidon is a temple dedicated to God Poseidon, the God of the sea, standing for 2.500 years right on the edge of the clifs of Cape Sounio, the southern most tip of the peninsula of Attica.
