What one should not miss when visiting Greece in the summer and often described as a unique experience, are the numerous open-air cinemas. Around the area there are many to choose from and the movies have the original sound with Greek subtitles that makes it a really refreshing night out under the stars.
Cape Sounio
One of the most noteworthy sightseeing sites if you are staying at Attica Villas is the drive to Cape Sounio and a visit to the ancient temple of Poseidon, one of the 12 Olympian Gods, the protector of the seas. The temple stands proud on the steep rock of Cape Sounio, which is the southern tip of Attica, as a protector of the maritime passage of ship travelling from the Aegean Sea towards Athens and Piraeus. We strongly suggest you visit the temple at dusk so can enjoy the most breathtaking sunset. The feeling, the sight is beyond words can describe.
