Cape Sounio can be found at the most southern part of the ‘Attica’ region. Here, on the prominent rock overlooking the open ocean, the denizens of Athens payed homage to Poseidon, the deity of the seas, and Athena, the guardian of Athens.
Given its advantageous position, this locale also served as a lookout for incoming ships heading towards Athens. Indeed, the naming of the Aegean Sea is linked to this very rock and King Aegeus.
