Poseidons temple and a NICE beach
So todays beach day...went to the south outskirts of Athens to a place called Sounion (Cape Sounion (Modern Greek: Aκρωτήριο Σούνιο - Akrotírio Soúnio; Latin: Sunium promonturium; Ancient Greek: Άκρον Σούνιον - Άkron Soúnion; Venetian: Capo Colonne) is a promontory located 69 km (43 mi, by road) SSE of Athens, at the southernmost tip of the Attica peninsula in Greece (Fig.2).
Cape Sounion is noted as the site of ruins of the ancient Greek temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea in classical mythology. The remains are perched on the headland, surrounded on three sides by the sea (Fig.1). The ruins bear the deeply engraved name of English Romantic poet Lord Byron (1788 - 1824))
As you probably understand the tempel it self was just ruins and som pilars..but the beach beneth the cliff had a nice view over th temple ruins and the beach was great :)
On top of that we ate in a realy nice tavern by the beach, swordfish FTW :)
Great day that is ended on Desposas balcony by emptying hes fridge from breezers and beer.
Tomorrow its a lazy day.. we need to go to the supermarket and buy more.uhm..drinks *blush*
BUT the day efter that...its Acropolis time, Centipede hasnt still seened it..hopefully i have help of my guidebook even if Desposa has 100% control of what EVERYTHING (not joking..everything is realy everything in this case) is and the history of all building we might see from up there.
And yeah, camera is with us this time..not only cellphones ;)
