We sailed to the Poseidon's Temple so you don't have to. Sailing SV_ Goat 70

This week on Sailing GOAT, we leave the sweet chaos of Poros behind and head toward one of the most mythical landmarks of the Mediterranean: The Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion. But of course, we couldn't just sail there… we had to race there—against our friends on SV WOLO. ⛵️ Boat vs Boat With full sails up and wind on our side, we challenged SV WOLO to an old-fashioned buddy boat race. The conditions were perfect: a sporty breeze, blue skies, and the island-dotted Aegean to make it a sailing dream. It was fast, fun, and just the right amount of competitive (okay, maybe we really wanted to win 😅). 🏛 Arrival at the Temple of Poseidon As the sun started its descent, we rounded the famous Cape Sounion, where the ancient Temple of Poseidon stands guard over the Aegean Sea. Built in the 5th century BC, this temple was the last sight of land for sailors leaving Athens—and a place to honor the god of the sea for a safe return. Sailing right beneath the cape and dropping anchor in the shadow of 2,500 years of maritime history was a powerful moment for both of us. The golden hour glow on the marble columns was pure magic. 📍 This Episode Includes: Epic buddy boat sailing with SV WOLO Beautiful Aegean sailing conditions Approaching Cape Sounion by sea Exploring the Temple of Poseidon by land Sailing history, Greek mythology, and big grins all around ✨ A Bit of History & Magic Legend has it that King Aegeus threw himself from the cliffs of Sounion believing his son Theseus had perished. The sea was named Aegean in his honor. Today, sailors from all over the world pay homage to Poseidon, protector of seafarers, as they pass this sacred point. 💬 Let’s Talk: Have you ever visited the Temple of Poseidon?
