Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon

Temple of Poseidon, with its magnificent view of the Aegean, seems to still fulfill the role of sea watcher from the high promontory. If you are fortunate enough to find yourself among them, also be intent on watching your step on the alternately rough or slippery rocks, and if you are traveling with young ones, people prone to vertigo, or merely the inherently clumsy please be aware that there are no guard rails, chains, or anything similar protecting you or your loved ones from a quick plunge into air, water, and rocks. Also, the steps are in disrepair, so watch out for crack or missing pieces. Add to this a strong, frisky breeze and, perhaps, the fact that Poseidon also rules over earthquakes, and you have cause for caution.
