  • Temple of Poseidon, Sounio, Greece
    Built between 444 and 440 BC, the temple was constructed of white marble quarried locally at lavreotic Olympus mountain, about 20km north of Cape Sounion . The architect is thought to be Iktinos, who built the Temple of Hephaestus in the Ancient agora in Athens. He built the 38 columns (16 still standing today) at the Temple of Poseidon in a way that ensured they would stand the test of time and resist the harshness of the environment, and made the Doric columns extra slender at the top so they would look taller from distance. In the Odyssey, Homer wrote that Sounion was the place where King Menelaus of Sparta buried his helmsman, who died at his post while rounding the cape. Alternatively, you should know that the views of the sunset from the temple are considered one of the best sights in all of Greece.

Our trip to Athens was made many times more awesome because we booked a taxi from Alexis. Not a single dull moment around him. Knowledgeable across not just touristy stuff but in general across a vast genre of things, he was full of rich, fun stories, superb recommendations of places that define the phrase "hidden gems", amazing enthusiasm for clicking pictures(matched mine, and that's saying something) and of course great car and drive. We had booked two day trips, one to delphi and the other to cape sounion and they both were amazing. Alexis goes above and beyond and we are still enjoying his recommendations while on the rest of our trips in completely other islands where there's no commercial arrangement with him- just friendship and a big heart ???? Totally recommend.

My husband and I had a great trip to Temple of Poseidon with Alexis from Athens Taxi Wagon. Alexis is so knowledgeable. He is very familiar with the sites in Greece. On the way to the Temple, we stopped for a nice dinner in a small village. At the Temple, he told us exactly what to do to maximize our time there. After the Temple closed, he showed us another area on site that we could walk to for a good picture. He never rushed us. I highly recommend using Athens Taxi Wagon and Alexis for any of the tours/services he offers.

Alex was a wonderful guide for our party of four, providing a very comfortable ride and interesting background on the history and traditions of Greece, specifically relating to Athens the area north of of the city. We stopped at sights along the way to the Temple of Poseidon and enjoyed lively conversation as we traveled. Especially interesting and fun were stops at Lake Vouliagmeni, an amazing natural hot springs lake where fresh and sea water mix; and lunch at a local fishing village restaurant. We were fascinated by the beauty and lovely spa facilities at Lake Vouliagmeni and would like to return there for a longer stay. At lunch we sampled regional dishes and excellent fresh fish. A true taste of local taste and color! Alex made certain that we reached the Temple of Poseidon before sunset so we could fully experience the beauty of the ruins and the stunning hilltop location as the sun went down. We returned to our hotel in Athens within the timeframe promised after an amazing afternoon touring the coastline. Thank you, Alex and Athens Taxi Wagon, for a wonderful experience of the culture and beauty of Greece!
