Cape Sounio – A Grecotel Resort

Modern luxury overlooking Athens’ ancient skyline
VERIFIED LUXURY
Set in the Athens Riviera, Cape Sounio – A Grecotel Resort gives you a front-row seat to Greece’s ancient splendor. As you arrive, the shimmering Aegean stretches endlessly, with the iconic Temple of Poseidon standing sentinel across the bay. The luxury resort’s sleek and modern terra-cotta-hued bungalows and villas blend seamlessly with the coastal landscape, their earthy tones echoing the sunbaked cliffs. 

Inside, the design draws on natural materials — stone floors, exposed wooden beams and woven textiles — to create a luxurious yet understated ambiance. Floor-to-ceiling windows invite in the sea breeze, while private terraces have unobstructed views of the temple, which glows at night.

Dining is an experience unto itself, from fresh seafood at Yali to authentic Greek cuisine at Cape Sounio Restaurant. The Ploe Spa curates treatments inspired by ancient rituals, which are best enjoyed after a long day exploring the nearby archaeological sites.

Our Inspector's Highlights

  • Nestled within fragrant pine trees, Ploe Spa invites you to unwind and indulge in self-care. After a salt scrub or facial featuring products from Dr. Barbara Sturm or Omorovicza, relax in the glass-walled hydrotherapy pool.
  • Savor freshly caught seafood at Yali, where tables sit right on the water’s edge or partake in upscale Mediterranean fare from acclaimed chef Sakis Tzanetos at The Restaurant. For something more casual, enjoy grilled favorites and Greek cuisine at the alfresco Aegean Grill.
  • Despite its grandeur, Cape Sounio resort maintains a serene and intimate atmosphere. The property’s private beach with its calm, crystal-clear waters offers an escape.
  • The concierge at the Athens Riviera hotel can arrange guided tours of the Temple of Poseidon, sunset catamaran cruises or private wine tastings at nearby vineyards. Personalized service ensures every moment feels special.
  • Thoughtful amenities like Grecoland kids’ club, a dedicated family pool and child-friendly menus make Cape Sounio an ideal getaway for parents with tots in tow. Spacious suites allow families of all sizes to relax in comfort.

The Rooms

  • Thanks to a clever amphitheater-like layout, each of Cape Sounio’s 139 accommodations has uninterrupted vista of the surrounding landscape, including the Temple of Poseidon and the sea beyond.
  • Spacious and light-filled, Deluxe Bungalows feature neutral hues, earthy fabrics and large sliding doors that open to private terraces with sea or garden views. Marble bathrooms with soaking tubs add a touch of elegance.
  • Swim-up suites provide direct access to a shared infinity pool, but those who prefer more privacy should opt for the Infinity Suite with its corner views and own infinity pool.
  • Those seeking extra seclusion should check into one of Cape Sounio’s sprawling villas. Each is a haven of indoor-outdoor living with private pools and expansive terraces, as well as bespoke furnishings and original artworks.
  • For the ultimate hideaway at the luxury hotel, The Estate on the Hill is a complex large enough to sleep 10. You’ll enjoy your own entrance through a massive private garden before entering the three-villa residence, complete with three pools, walk-in closets, a 10-person dining table and wine fridge.
