Grecotel Cape Sounio is considered unique for one primary reason that no other luxury resort can claim: its breathtaking, direct, and unobstructed view of the ancient Temple of Poseidon.
The entire resort is built amphitheatrically on a hillside directly facing this iconic archaeological marvel, which is one of the most significant sites in Greece. This location provides a “front-row seat” to what is famously one of the most beautiful sunsets and full moons in the world, right over the temple and the Aegean Sea.
Beyond this unparalleled location, other features that make it unique include:
A “Village” of Bungalows: Instead of a single large hotel building, the resort is designed as a village of terracotta-hued bungalows and private villas. This design, nestled within a 75-acre estate of pine and olive trees, creates a sense of privacy and allows the resort to blend seamlessly into the protected Sounio National Park.
Proximity to Athens: It offers a rare combination of a secluded, nature-filled beach resort experience while being located on the “Athens Riviera,” just a 45-minute drive from the center of Athens and its historical landmarks.
Dual Private Beaches: The resort is set in a cove and features two private, sandy beaches, offering a level of exclusivity and tranquility.
Art and Design: Following a major renovation, the resort’s lobby and spaces are filled with significant art, including kinetic sculptures by the famous Greek artist Takis and furniture inspired by ancient Greek designs, connecting the modern luxury to its historical setting.
