A Panorama of Central Greece

The uniqueness of modern central Greece's landscape derives from the atmospheric blend of ancient archaeological sites and the Mediterranean flora.

The evening we spent in Σουνιον is probably one i won't forget. It was SO NICE in there, from the moment i got out of the car i could smell the sea and feel the wind, because IT'S ALWAYS WINDY near the temple, confirmed by the locals xD

The Poseidon temple is gorgeous, again, untouchable, but still. And it wasn't overwhelming, like other ruins we visited. It was just nice, surrounded by pretty landscapes. Yes, probably Aegeus jumped from there, which is not a nice story, but...

Because many tourists wanted to watch the sunset from the temple and it was getting crowded, we left and went to a little beach nearby, and it was so relaxing, it was years since last time i was in the sea. I was collecting these without moving from the towel:

I only took with me 2 or 3 pieces, the rest stayed in the beach :) It was so relaxing and... healing, let's say. Then the sun set and we started to hear a whistle from the temple for the tourists to leave so they could close the installations already xD

What a nice place <3

Poseidón

Poseidón era el dios griego del mar y de los ríos, el creador de tormentas e inundaciones, y el portador de terremotos y de destrucción. Fue quizás el más perturbador de todos los dioses antiguos, pero no siempre fue una fuerza negativa. Era un protector de los marineros, y como domador de caballos, el patrón de esa cría de animales y caballos. Para los romanos, era conocido como Neptuno.
