Hotel information
Set within a pristine pine forest reserve overlooking the legendary Temple of Poseidon, Cape Sounio, A Grecotel Resort to Live, is one of the Athens Riviera’s most distinctive escapes. With three private beaches opening onto the Aegean, sweeping coastal vistas and ancient ruins woven into the landscape, this is a setting where mythology and modern luxury meet.
Newly redefined spaces and artfully renewed villas create an elegant base from which to experience the Riviera, whether settling into the privacy of your own retreat, dining beside the sea or discovering the resort’s eight restaurants and bars. Bespoke culinary experiences range from refined dining to private beach dinners and villa barbecues accompanied by wine tasting, bringing an unmistakably Greek sense of place to every occasion.
Adventure and relaxation come in equal measure, from mountain biking, paragliding, yoga and personal training to an array of water sports. Wakeboarding, waterskiing, sea kayaking, snorkelling and scuba diving over colourful reefs all reveal the dramatic Sounio coastline from a different perspective. If you're travelling with family, Grecobaby services, Grecoland Kid’s Club, open-air cinema, live concerts, ancient pottery workshops and homemade cookie sessions will keep little ones entertained throughout.
Wellness takes an equally sophisticated direction through Elevations of Wellness, the resort’s pioneering holistic programme created by renowned wellness expert and osteopath Vicky Vlachonis. Alongside the newly revamped Spa and sea-view Gym, treatments and experiences draw on ancient wisdom, Greek herbs and the restorative energy of the Aegean, creating a deeply considered approach to wellbeing.
Beyond the resort, private tours reveal the history surrounding Cape Sounio, while yacht cruises, island-hopping from nearby Lavrio and excursions into Athens offer a wealth of ways to explore. Recognised among Tatler’s 101 Best Hotels in the World 2026, Cape Sounio offers a rare combination of sacred history, exceptional privacy and contemporary Aegean luxury.
