    Lake Vouliagmeni ("Sunken Lake") is an environmental gem- lake fed by underground currents seeping through the mass of Mount Hymettus located to the south of Vouliagmeni, Greece. The surrounding rocks and the green-turquoise water makes it an amazing lanscape. We stop for quick photos with the lake in the background.

    After traveling for a few kilometres through the South Coast and the Athenian Riviera, you will be bedazzled by the famous landscapes which surround Sounion. Sounion (or Sunium) was an important ancient Greek religious sanctuary dedicated to the gods Poseidon and Athena. Spectacularly located on a promontory in southern Attica, the site is dominated by the temple of Poseidon perched 70 meters above the sea on the cliff edge. Sounion is the setting for several episodes in Greek mythology, and is specifically mentioned as a place of religious significance in Homer’s Odyssey. In some myths, this is also the spot where the Athenian king Aegeus threw himself into the sea in despair upon having sighted the black sail of his son Theseus’ ship returning from Crete after his battle with the Minotaur.
