Cape Sounion is located at the extreme southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula ... the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon are all that remain of a large complex of shrines, temples and residences that once occupied this isolated area. The Temple of Poseidon is perched on the edge of a cliff and was a landmark for sailors returning to Attica from the southern seas.
