Temple of Poseidon
The temple for the god of the sea and everything in it is situated in a pretty idylic spot. I spent two days trying to get to Poseidon. The first time with an American girl, failed, we ended up spending half the day on local buses going around in circles.
As fate would have it, there was a second time a few days later when I was supposed to go there with a crew of 4-5 people I had met. Unfortunately the ordeal of changing my travellers cheque in Athens lasted approximately 3 and a half hours. The last time I will use a travellers cheque while travelling, I hope. So I missed being at the departure point at the time we had organised.
I decided to go anyway and finally I made it to the temple. A spectacularly set temple that takes you to another age, that I had the privilege of seeing on a picture perfect day. After watching sunset there, I returned to Athens where I set about killing my liver again.
