Why Cape Sounio is one of the Athens Riviera’s most rewarding escapes

A setting shaped by sea views and ancient history

Cape Sounio is best known for its position overlooking the Temple of Poseidon, one of Greece’s most recognisable landmarks. From many points along the coast, you’ll see the temple set above the sea, which is particularly striking at sunset. The resort itself is surrounded by pine forest and coastline, giving it a sense of space and privacy. It’s a setting that works well if you want to unwind, while still having something of interest nearby to explore.

Escape to a healing destination

Wellness is a key part of the experience at Cape Sounio. The innovative holistic wellness programme 'Elevations of Wellness' by Vicky Vlachonis offers treatments designed to help you properly switch off. This pairs naturally with the setting. A typical day might start with a slow morning by the sea, followed by time at the spa, and then an unhurried afternoon by the pool or beach.

Flexible stays for couples and families

Arranged amphitheatrically, terracotta coloured Bungalows, Suites and Villas blend into the unspoiled landscape and offer a range of accommodation options, including villas, cabanas, and family-friendly layouts. This makes it easy to tailor your stay depending on how you’re travelling. Couples can opt for more private, quiet spaces, while families have the flexibility of larger accommodations and added benefits designed to make longer stays more comfortable.
