Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion

Highlight • Historical Site

Amazing location of this old fortress and temples built by Ancient Athenians on Attica's southernmost point, which still greet ships today. Winter €4, or might be free for bike travelers with a friendly smile 😁

Karamanlis Tunnels

Highlight • Structure

The two tunnels are located at km 31 of the Athens-Sounio road and have always been a point on the road network that required special attention from drivers due to their dangerousness. In the past, drivers honked every time they passed through the tunnel. Some still honk today. The first tunnel (now heading towards Athens) was built in 1954, the second was only added in 1980 and was Karamanlis's heartfelt wish. Konstantinos G. Karamanlis was a Greek politician who served two terms as Prime Minister (1955-1963 and 1974-1980) and twice as President of the Hellenic Republic (1980-1985, 1990-1995) and left his mark on the period after Greece's independence. The tunnels are very short, about 7 meters long, but are located on a curve.
The old tunnel is also steeped in history due to an assassination attempt that took place there. The tunnels became famous after the assassination attempt on George Papadopoulos by Alekos Panagoulis on August 13, 1968, which failed because the improvised explosive device exploded a few seconds after the dictator passed through the tunnel.

Holes of Karamanlis

Highlight • Structure

Note that after the new works the road is much better now at least from Boyliagmeni to Limanakia and Holes of Karamanlis. Road cyclists will be able to achieve better times and recreational cyclists just ride smoother and with less effort and fatigue.

Hellenic Parliament Building

Highlight • Monument

King Ludwig I of Bavaria commissioned the building so that his son Otto I and his wife Amalie could move into accommodation in Athens that was appropriate for the royal couple. During a four-year construction phase, the building was built in the neoclassical style by the court architect Friedrich Gärtner from 1834 to 1838. The result was an imposing and at the same time simple-looking ochre-colored building, which stands out not least because of the porch on its main front supported by Doric columns.
The Greek parliament has been meeting in this impressive building since 1935.
