Came across this photo which reminded me that the future Mrs THC and I visited the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion in Greece in September 1978. It is an hour or two from Athens - we must have reached the site by bus. At the time there was nothing around it - don't know if that has changed.
This version of the temple (it had been a cult site for hundreds of years prior) was built in the mid-5th century, at the same time as the Parthenon, and at the height of Athen's power.
It was later that month we boarded the Magic Bus.
