Sitting between aromatic pines & azure seas, with spectacular views of the Temple of Poseidon across the bay, Cape Sounio combines luxury accommodation with gourmet dining in a beautiful, tranquil setting. Ideal for a relaxing break but still close enough to explore historic Athens & the spectacular Acropolis, this all-rounder boasts its own pristine beach, a world class spa & seven restaurants & bars to choose from. Take a dip in the seawater pool surrounded by fragrant gardens, with views of Poseidon’s temple, or bathe like an Ancient Greek in the indoor heated hydro-tonic pool, surrounded by glass & turquoise mosaics. This coastline is steeped in Greek mythology, & local archaeological discoveries date from as far back as 700BC, but real culture vultures should make for Athens, which holds a wonderful collection of museums as well as the incredible Acropolis. Sportier travellers might be interested in the hotel’s tennis, beach volleyball & yoga sessions, the wonderful pine-scented hiking in the Sounio Natural Park, or the Glyfada golf club, which is just 40 minutes away.
