About an hour south of Athens, Cape Sounion is the site of the Temple of Poseidon and, in legend, the point at which King Aegeas threw himself off the cliff into the sea, thus giving us the "Aegean". It is the southernmost point of mainland Greece and thus -- if you don't count the Peloponnese -- the southernmost point of continental Europe.

Cape Sounion (Modern Greek: Aκρωτήριο Σούνιο, transliterated Akrotírio Soúnio, pronounced [akroˈtirʝo ˈsuɲo]; Ancient Greek: Ἄκρον Σούνιον, Άkron Soúnion; Venetian: Capo Colonne, "Cape of Columns") is a promontory located 69 kilometres (43 mi) south-southeast of Athens, at the southernmost tip of the Attica peninsula in Greece.
Cape Sounion is noted as the site of ruins of an ancient Greek temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea in classical mythology. The remains are perched on the headland, surrounded on three sides by the sea. The ruins bear the deeply engraved name of English Romantic poet Lord Byron (1788–1823).
The site is a popular day-excursion for tourists from Athens, with the sunset over the Aegean Sea, as viewed from the ruins, a sought-after spectacle.
According to Greek Mythology, Cape Sounion is the spot where Aegeus, king of Athens, leapt to his death off the cliff, thus giving his name to the Aegean Sea.[citation needed] The story goes that Aegeus, anxiously looking out from Sounion, despaired when he saw a black sail on his son Theseus's ship, returning from Crete. This led him to believe that his son had been killed in his contest with the dreaded Minotaur, a monster that was half man and half bull. The Minotaur was confined by its owner, King Minos of Crete, in a specially designed labyrinth. Every year, according to the myth, the Athenians were forced to send seven men and seven women to Minos as tribute. These youths were placed in the labyrinth to be devoured by the Minotaur. Theseus had volunteered to go with the third tribute and attempt to slay the beast. He had agreed with his father that if he survived the contest, he would hoist a white sail on his return. In fact, Theseus had successfully overcome and slain the Minotaur, but tragically had simply forgotten about the white sail.[1]
The earliest literary reference to Sounion is in Homer's poem the Odyssey, probably composed in the 8th century BC. This recounts the mythical tribulations suffered by Greek hero Odysseus in a gruelling 10-year sea-voyage to return to his native island, Ithaca, in the Ionian sea, from the sack of Troy. This ordeal was supposedly inflicted upon him by Poseidon, to whom the temple at Sounion was dedicated.
We are told that, as the various Greek commanders sailed back from Troy, the helmsman of the ship of King Menelaus of Sparta died at his post while rounding "holy Sounion, cape of Athens". Menelaus landed at Sounion to give his companion full funeral honours (i.e., cremation on a funeral pyre on the beach).[2] The Greek ships were then caught by a storm off Cape Malea and scattered in all directions.
Σούνιο (ή Κάβο κολώνες ή Καβοκολώνες) ονομάζεται το ακρωτήριο που βρίσκεται στο νοτιότερο άκρο στην εσχατιά του νομού Αττικής. Τα παράλια του είναι βραχώδη και απότομα. Υψώνεται σχεδόν κάθετα από την θάλασσα σε μεγάλο ύψος σχηματίζοντας στους πρόποδες αυτού προς δυσμάς μικρό όρμο που με ισθμό χωρίζεται από έτερο ανατολικό ορμίσκο. Το Σούνιο είναι γνωστό λόγω της σημαντικής γεωγραφικής θέσης του αλλά και εξαιτίας των ερειπίων του αρχαίου ναού του Ποσειδώνα που βρίσκονται σε αυτό. Στα νεότερα χρόνια, η ευρύτερη περιοχή λόγω της περιβαλλοντικής αξίας της, ανακηρύχθηκε εθνικός δρυμός.

Luxury Hotel
Hotel de Lux is a 1992 Romanian film directed by Dan Pița. It won the Silver Lion (Leone d'Argento) at the 49th Venice Film Festival. The film has 105 minute running time and includes several important actors in the Romanian cinema. Irina Petrescu, Valentin Popescu and Ştefan Iordache are key players in the film. The film was selected as the Romanian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 65th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.
Synopsis
An ambitious young chief of room (Valentin Popescu) tries to renew the atmosphere of a restaurant located inside a luxury hotel. Inexplicably, his initiatives wake the opposition of his superiors. But penetrating the depth of relations between people involved in this plot comes to light an insidious fabric of lies that prevent the development of a normal life and flourishing. The location of filming was Casa Poporului (Palace of the Parliament now), the giant building from Bucarest.

Aegean Sea
The Aegean Sea (/ᵻˈdʒiːən/; Greek: Αιγαίο Πέλαγος [eˈʝeo ˈpelaɣos]; Turkish: Ege Denizi Turkish pronunciation: [e̞ɟe̞ de̞n̪iz̪i]) is an elongated embayment of the Mediterranean Sea located between the Greek and Anatolian peninsulas, i.e., between the mainlands of Greece and Turkey. In the north, it is connected to the Marmara Sea and Black Sea by the Dardanelles and Bosporus. The Aegean Islands are within the sea and some bound it on its southern periphery, including Crete and Rhodes.
The sea was traditionally known as Archipelago (in Greek, Αρχιπέλαγος, meaning "chief sea"), but in English this word's meaning has changed to refer to the Aegean Islands and, generally, to any island group.
Etymology
In ancient times, there were various explanations for the name Aegean. It was said to have been named after the Greek town of Aegae, or after Aegea, a queen of the Amazons who died in the sea, or Aigaion, the "sea goat", another name of Briareus, one of the archaic Hecatonchires, or, especially among the Athenians, Aegeus, the father of Theseus, who drowned himself in the sea when he thought his son had died.

Athens
Athens (/ˈæθᵻnz/;Modern Greek: Αθήνα, Athína [[aˈθina]], Ancient Greek: Ἀθῆναι Athēnai), is the capital and largest city of Greece. Athens dominates the Attica region and is one of the world's oldest cities, with its recorded history spanning around 3,400 years, and the earliest human presence around the 11th–7th centuries BC.Classical Athens was a powerful city-state that emerged in conjunction with the seagoing development of the port of Piraeus. A centre for the arts, learning and philosophy, home of Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum, it is widely referred to as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy, largely because of its cultural and political impact on the European continent and in particular the Romans. In modern times, Athens is a large cosmopolitan metropolis and central to economic, financial, industrial, maritime, political and cultural life in Greece. In 2015, Athens was ranked the world's 29th richest city by purchasing power and the 67th most expensive in a UBS study.

Cape Sounion Greece
About an hour south of Athens, Cape Sounion is the site of the Temple of Poseidon and, in legend, the point at which King Aegeas threw himself off the cliff into the sea, thus giving us the "Aegean". It is the southernmost point of mainland Greece and thus -- if you don't count the Peloponnese -- the southernmost point of continental Europe.

Cape Sounion (Modern Greek: Aκρωτήριο Σούνιο, transliterated Akrotírio Soúnio, pronounced [akroˈtirʝo ˈsuɲo]; Ancient Greek: Ἄκρον Σούνιον, Άkron Soúnion; Venetian: Capo Colonne, "Cape of Columns") is a promontory located 69 kilometres (43 mi) south-southeast of Athens, at the southernmost tip of the Attica peninsula in Greece.
Cape Sounion is noted as the site of ruins of an ancient Greek temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea in classical mythology. The remains are perched on the headland, surrounded on three sides by the sea. The ruins bear the deeply engraved name of English Romantic poet Lord Byron (1788–1823).
The site is a popular day-excursion for tourists from Athens, with the sunset over the Aegean Sea, as viewed from the ruins, a sought-after spectacle.
According to Greek Mythology, Cape Sounion is the spot where Aegeus, king of Athens, leapt to his death off the cliff, thus giving his name to the Aegean Sea.[citation needed] The story goes that Aegeus, anxiously looking out from Sounion, despaired when he saw a black sail on his son Theseus's ship, returning from Crete. This led him to believe that his son had been killed in his contest with the dreaded Minotaur, a monster that was half man and half bull. The Minotaur was confined by its owner, King Minos of Crete, in a specially designed labyrinth. Every year, according to the myth, the Athenians were forced to send seven men and seven women to Minos as tribute. These youths were placed in the labyrinth to be devoured by the Minotaur. Theseus had volunteered to go with the third tribute and attempt to slay the beast. He had agreed with his father that if he survived the contest, he would hoist a white sail on his return. In fact, Theseus had successfully overcome and slain the Minotaur, but tragically had simply forgotten about the white sail.[1]
The earliest literary reference to Sounion is in Homer's poem the Odyssey, probably composed in the 8th century BC. This recounts the mythical tribulations suffered by Greek hero Odysseus in a gruelling 10-year sea-voyage to return to his native island, Ithaca, in the Ionian sea, from the sack of Troy. This ordeal was supposedly inflicted upon him by Poseidon, to whom the temple at Sounion was dedicated.
We are told that, as the various Greek commanders sailed back from Troy, the helmsman of the ship of King Menelaus of Sparta died at his post while rounding "holy Sounion, cape of Athens". Menelaus landed at Sounion to give his companion full funeral honours (i.e., cremation on a funeral pyre on the beach).[2] The Greek ships were then caught by a storm off Cape Malea and scattered in all directions.
Σούνιο (ή Κάβο κολώνες ή Καβοκολώνες) ονομάζεται το ακρωτήριο που βρίσκεται στο νοτιότερο άκρο στην εσχατιά του νομού Αττικής. Τα παράλια του είναι βραχώδη και απότομα. Υψώνεται σχεδόν κάθετα από την θάλασσα σε μεγάλο ύψος σχηματίζοντας στους πρόποδες αυτού προς δυσμάς μικρό όρμο που με ισθμό χωρίζεται από έτερο ανατολικό ορμίσκο. Το Σούνιο είναι γνωστό λόγω της σημαντικής γεωγραφικής θέσης του αλλά και εξαιτίας των ερειπίων του αρχαίου ναού του Ποσειδώνα που βρίσκονται σε αυτό. Στα νεότερα χρόνια, η ευρύτερη περιοχή λόγω της περιβαλλοντικής αξίας της, ανακηρύχθηκε εθνικός δρυμός.

Sounion, Greece - Temple of Poseidon - AtlasVisual
Greece Video Map: http://www.atlasvisual.com Located about 69 km southeast of Athens, Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon is an excellent day trip. The Temple of Poseidon was constructed in 444-440 BC, over the ruins of a temple dating from the Archaic Period. It is perched above the sea at a height of almost 60 meters, surrounded by the sea on three sides. There is an ethereal atmosphere at the temple and the views at sunset are breathtaking. According to legend, Cape Sounion is the spot where Aegeus, king of Athens, leapt to his death off the cliff, thus giving his name to the Aegean Sea. The story goes that Aegeus, anxiously looking out from Sounion, despaired when he saw a black sail on his son Theseus's ship, returning from Crete. This led him to believe that his son had been k...

Greece 2015 - Thessaloniki, Mt.Athos, Thermopylae, Delphy, Cape Sounion, Athens
Thessaloniki is the second-largest city in Greece and the capital of Greek Macedonia, the administrative region of Central Macedonia and the Decentralized Administration of Macedonia and Thrace. Its honorific title is literally "co-capital", and stands as a reference to its historical status as the "co-reigning" city of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, alongside Constantinople. Mount Athos is a mountain and peninsula in Northern Greece. A World Heritage Site and autonomous polity within the Hellenic Republic under the official name Autonomous Monastic State of the Holy Mountain. Mount Athos is home to 20 Eastern Orthodox monasteries under the direct jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.

Greece Travel Guide http://bit.ly/19QqISc
Shepherd Entertainment gives you the history of Parnes, the highest peak in Attica and takes you on a tour of its sites and
attractions.
At 1415m, Parnes is the highest peak in Attica. In the towns of -- and --, along the road that winds up the mountain, tourism is the main source of income today. The attractive open air restaurants are frequented by Athenians too. The Agia Trias resort beneath the peak is accessible by road but it's easier to take the cable car. The cable car system was built in 1971 and then completely rebuilt in 2000. The departure hall is lavish enough with its spiral staircase and state of the art chandelier. But at the peak station, the visitor actually steps right into a luxury casino.
The green slopes of the Pyrenees are easy to recognize amidst the other mostly bare and yellowish brown mountains. There's little water and the rock is mainly limestone. The mountains hold lots of marble and other valuable materials. In ancient times, -- was known for its rich silver mine. In the smaller valleys, olive groves are interspersed with orchards of grapes, oranges, lemons and figs. Cereals produced include wheat, barley, rye, maiz and rice. Scented herbs often grow wild in fields and at the roadside. On the rocks, Mediterranean plants grow among the thistles, agave, aloe vera and frigana. Goats, sheep and donkeys graze in the meadows. Use of the cable car is free of charge. This is the casino's gift to prospective customers. However, many won't spend money at the tables, bring a tent to enjoy the fantastic view.
The Pyrenees is surrounded on three sides by tall mountains and only towards the south do we have an open view of the sea. We can see the island of Salamis, famous for another ancient battle. As at marathon, the Greeks faced the Persian force far superior in numbers, however, this is a maritime battle. The story is told by Aeschylus in his tragedy, the Persians.
Athens beach vacation resort begins at some 10km from the Olympian. The section of the Saronic Gulf between Athens and Cape Sounion was called coast of Apollo. There are many important settlements here for example Agios Kosmas. After that, the place fell into deep slumber and it was repopulated only from 1922 when thousands of Greeks left Asia Minor and settled here. However, real growth had to wait until the advent of mass tourism. Since then the area has come to be known as Attica's Riviera. Tourists swarmed the Palaio Faliron, Kalamaki and Varkiza. New and increasingly sophisticated hotels are cropping up along the jagged coastline with its sandy and rocky beaches and they inevitably promote the development of the area.
Hotels are followed by well equipped beach facilities. Restaurants, taverns, gift shops, nightclubs, casinos, golf courses and sports facilities. The Glyfada area is especially rich in hillside villas and holiday homes. Its beach, Astir Beach is the best on the coast. Close to the town, we find the two airports that serve Athens, Hellinikon and the west terminal. The name Vouliagmeni means sunken. The town took its name in ancient time from a small lake wedged between precipitous rocks. Its sulfurous water fed by warm underground currents is used for medicinal purposes. Almost every Greek coastal town has a fish market. Sometimes, it's found next to the vegetable and meat market but more often in the harbor.
The Glyfada market is one of the latter type where the produce of the sea is sold straight from the boat. The catch is so fresh it wiggles. There're tunas, cods, mullets, halibuts and sharks. Tiny sardines are netted in bulk but the nets also trapped squids and octopi. Both are popular in Greek cuisine just like shrimp and other shellfish. Seafood is prepared as soup or as a starter, warm or cold, and it's grilled or made into pita filling or as a salad as well. Squid rings are delicious fried in batter and octopus is often served in a fresh tomato sauce. Clams and shrimp tails are often used in salads.
The wild romance of the rocky coastline between Kalamaki and Glyfada rivals the beauty of the Greek islands. The hotels lining the beach are cheaper than in downtown Athens and it's easy to get around either by car or by public transportation.

The drive from Athens to the Temple of Poseidon is about 69 km and 45 minutes. It is one of the most beautiful drives in Greece, winding along the coast with breathtaking sea views. Perfect as a day trip, you will pass through several small towns with incredible fish taverns right at sea level and beautiful beaches in small coves that resemble some of the best beaches in Greece - just a short drive out of Athens. The temple is a must-see when visiting Athens.

Greece Video Map: http://www.atlasvisual.com
Located about 69 km southeast of Athens, Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon is an excellent day trip. The Temple of Poseidon was constructed in 444-440 BC, over the ruins of a temple dating from the Archaic Period. It is perched above the sea at a height of almost 60 meters, surrounded by the sea on three sides. There is an ethereal atmosphere at the temple and the views at sunset are breathtaking.
According to legend, Cape Sounion is the spot where Aegeus, king of Athens, leapt to his death off the cliff, thus giving his name to the Aegean Sea. The story goes that Aegeus, anxiously looking out from Sounion, despaired when he saw a black sail on his son Theseus's ship, returning from Crete. This led him to believe that his son had been killed in his contest with the dreaded Minotaur, a monster that was half man and half bull. The Minotaur was confined by its owner, King Minos of Crete, in a specially designed labyrinth. Every year, the Athenians were forced to send 7 men and 7 women to Minos as tribute. These youths were placed in the labyrinth to be devoured by the Minotaur. Theseus had volunteered to go with the third tribute and attempt to slay the beast. He had agreed with his father that if he survived the contest, he would hoist a white sail. In fact, Theseus had overcome and slain the Minotaur, but tragically had simply forgotten about the white sail.

Thessaloniki is the second-largest city in Greece and the capital of Greek Macedonia, the administrative region of Central Macedonia and the Decentralized Administration of Macedonia and Thrace. Its honorific title is literally "co-capital", and stands as a reference to its historical status as the "co-reigning" city of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, alongside Constantinople.
Mount Athos is a mountain and peninsula in Northern Greece. A World Heritage Site and autonomous polity within the Hellenic Republic under the official name Autonomous Monastic State of the Holy Mountain. Mount Athos is home to 20 Eastern Orthodox monasteries under the direct jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.
Thermopylae is primarily known for the battle that took place there between the Greek forces including the Spartans and the Persian forces, spawning the famous epitaph beginning with "Go tell the Spartans". It is on the only land route large enough to bear any significant traffic between Lokris and Thessaly. Passage from north to south along the east coast of the Balkan peninsula requires use of the pass. Further west the way is blocked by mountains and the Gulf of Corinth. For this reason the area has been the site of several battles.
Delphi is both an archaeological site and a modern town in Greece on the south-western spur of Mount Parnassus in the valley of Phocis. In myths dating to the classical period of Ancient Greece (510-323 BC), the site of Delphi was believed to be determined by Zeus when he sought to find the centre of his "Grandmother Earth". He sent two eagles flying from the eastern and western extremities, and the path of the eagles crossed over Delphi where the omphalos, or navel of Gaia was found.
Cape Sounion is a promontory located 69 kilometres southeast of Athens, at the southernmost tip of the Attica peninsula in Greece.
Athens - capital and largest city of Greece, dominates the Attica region and is one of the world's oldest cities, with its recorded history spanning around 3,400 years, and the earliest human presence around the 11th–7th millennium BC. Athens is recognised as a global city because of its geo-strategic location and its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts, international trade, culture, education and tourism. It is one of the biggest economic centres in southeastern Europe, with a large financial sector, and its port Piraeus is the largest passenger port in Europe, and the third largest in the world
