Description
We are at the rocky cape Sounio, at the southernmost tip of the Attica peninsula in Greece.

The filmmaker visits the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon which was built in the middle 5th century BC at the top of the cape, and records the architrave and the Doric columns that supported the Temple which are 6.12 meters high.

In Greek mythology, Poseidon is one of the main Olympian gods, the supreme god of the water (lakes, rivers, springs) and consequently the sea.

We see lots of visitors of all ages all around the area and a police officer who monitors the smooth mobility of the visitors of the monument.
