Cape Souneio... A bit out of order

So I completely forgot to write a blog post about my trip to Cape Souneio.

We went with our program director, Jan, and she took us to these old silver mines first and then we hiked, and in some spots mountain-climbed, to a bay and then took a bus up to the temple. The hike was interesting and a bit prickly at times, but the views from the top (after scaling a rock-face, no lie) made up for the scratches. And the Temple of Poseidon was absolutely spectacular. It is so complete that you really feel like you can imagine what it was like up there. There is no doubt that it was meant to serve as an altar to the gods because its sheer size alone is imposing and grandiose. Thus far, it is my favorite ancient temple, and the views of the sea from all different sides were what I have come to expect from all of Greece… breathtaking.

While there isn’t much for me to really comment on about the day trip, it was a sight I won’t soon forget, and one I think that everyone should see should they make it to Greece in their lifetimes.
