One of the most famous historical places in Greece is Delphi. If you stay in Athens you can take a day trip to Delphi. Visit the museum to see the statue of the Charioteer of Delphi, the temple of Apollo and enjoy the mountain view.

A bus ride down the picturesque Attic coast, the temple of Poseidon crowning the cliffs at Cape Sounion is one of the most beautiful sights in Greece. The man-made grace of the white marble temple is in perfect contrast to the craggy cliffs and blue, blue sea below. Go in time to catch the sunset and you won't be disappointed.

Catch the bus from the square near the Archaeological museum.

Temple of Poseidon, just outside Athens. The journey there is along the coast, which is great. Sounio has breathtaking views and a nice cultural trip also. I never miss a drive there when I visit Athens.

Take a KTEL (coach) from Syntagma which will take you straight there.
