‘Sounion Hiron’ (the Sanctuary of Sounion) was first mentioned in Homer’s ‘Odyssey’, as the location where King Menelaos stopped during his return from Troy to bury his helmsman. The existence of an organized cult has been proven according to archaeological finds from the 7th century BC, in the Temple of Poseidon, which is located on the southern side of the site and in the Temple of Athena which is situated 500 meters NE.
Departure from Sounio for Piraeus Port.
During Medieval Times, the town of Piraeus was called ‘Porto Leone’, named after the huge stone lion that guarded the entrance of the port. Today, Piraeus is not the country’s major harbour, but also a city full of surprises and marvellous sightseeing.
