Cape Sounion is a beach that is south of Athens, known for its beautiful hotels and luxury restaurants. I've attended so many weddings in the area, as it is one of the most popular destinations for families that live in the Athens or mainland area. One of the best parts of the area is that you can catch a great view of the Temple of Poseidon, here is what it looks like:

Agreed. I was at Temple of Poseidon at sunset once. The pics I took are phenomenal. Highly recommend seeing it!

So if you want to make it a perfect day and you are staying around Athens, stop at Aperanto Galazio in Varkiza on your way to the temple. Reserve your fish for the return trip dinner. Enjoy the sunset and then return to the restaurant for a satisfying dinner on the beach.

Cape Sounion is one of my favorite places to visit in the Sounion area. I always make it a point to go! The Temple of Poseidon is fantastic.

This is a great idea. I have never done that, but I am going to try it next time. Sounds like a lovely day!

Cape Sounion is also a very popular location for weddings and baptisms! I highly recommend it for anyone who is planning their event.

Spending Greek Easter in Athens?

I am not sure I have enough time to plan this for 2023, but I might if I start taking action. I am contemplating spending Greek Easter in Athens or the surrounding area. I have heard stories of people doing so, and I am curious about it. I want to go either this year or next. What do Greeks do typically for Easter? Is it possible to go to a monastery, or something? I know Easter is just in a few weeks... What do you guys think?
