Cape Sunion
Anyone who has spent any time with me knows that I LOVE road trips. I don’t know if it came from Liz and I wandering aimlessly West in the Tempo when Liz was certain that there must be another Albuquerque, and that the CAA route couldn’t possibly be taking us through New Mexico, or if it is just the desire to see new places. Akis on the other hand isn’t always a fan of the road trip. Our last road trip to Long Beach had him reclining the passenger seat and taking a wee nap.
I convinced Akis that we needed to head out on Sunday for a bit of an adventure, so we got into his wee Hyundai and drove south. I know that if you make it to the end of the peninsula, you hit Cape Sunion, what better place to head on a Sunday afternoon. As we started to drive it was coming onto 1pm. OK, we’ll head down the coast and then find a cafeteria or taverna and have a coffee and some lunch once we get there. The coast road is beautiful, but very windy. It reminds me of the Sea-to-Sky highway up to Whistler without the mountains. As we saw signs for Cape Sunion, we kept our eyes peeled for the outcrop of beach that would house the much anticipated coffee houses. Then we realized that we had in fact missed the turn, we headed back to correct our course. The course correction did in fact lead us to Cape Sunion, however we were shocked to discover that all that is here is Poseidon’s temple, one restaurant and one kiosk. Nothing else. So much for finding our coffee shop by the beach!
We decided while we were there that we might as well take in the sights… Hey, how often do you happen to stumble upon Poseidon’s temple??
