Continue and visit the place where at last the statues found their home and admire the wonders of the classical era: The new Acropolis museum. Continue in a local restaurant for lunch.

After lunch, drive along the coastal road, passing the wonderful beaches of Glyfada, Vouliagmeni and Varkiza to the most Southern point of Attica, Cape Sounion, where the white marble pillars of the Temple of Poseidon stand. On the way, you have a splendid view of the Saronic Gulf and the little islands offshore. After Visiting the Temple of Poseidon, you have time to walk at leisure on the rocky promontory of Sounion
