The Cape Sounio is more than just a hotel: it is experience. 154 cabanas and villas, amphitheatrically built in a green area on the outskirts of the National Park of Sounion. As the temple of Poseidon, which seems all the rooms, the bells are and these then the Attic landscape: the bright blue Aegean Sea and the Attic sky; the dark green color of the pine trees and amber resin; the ocher color that prevails the barren, rocky land; clarity of light above the Aegean.
Every meal on the large terrace of the hotel, opposite the church transformed into ritual. The environment is also ideal whether romantic tete a tete and demanding gala, or eccentric parties and lively discussions around from the big problems of life.
Imagine breathing the same air with the Greek heroes and enjoy the same view that inspired poets and painters for centuries. Imagine also that you get down to the beach from the same path from which descended the athletes on races and smell thyme and salt, to rejuvenate your spirit. And all this in one of the most cosmopolitan areas, the so-called Attica Riviera within walking distance from the center of Athens.
Like the Temple of Poseidon, clearly visible from most bungalows, the resort echoes the Attica landscape, the brilliant blue sea and the clear skies of the Aegean. Set amphitheatrically on a 20-acre estate on the edge of Sounio National Park, Grecotel Cape Sounio has 145 Bungalows with private gardens, many with private pools.
