The Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sunium

Cape Sunium is located at the extreme southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula ... the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon are all that remain of a large complex of shrines, temples and residences that once occupied this isolated area. The Temple of Poseidon is perched on the edge of a cliff and was a landmark for sailors returning to Attica from the southern seas.
