You begin in the pulse of Athens, the city’s stone and traffic melting into the shadow of the Acropolis as your driver pulls up under morning light. The climb to the Parthenon feels deliberate — uneven marble steps, the scent of dust and citrus, and the city unfolding below like a lived-in map. Later the coastline opens, the car tracing a blue edge toward Cape Sounion; the Poseidon Temple sits on the cliff, wind pushing outward, the Aegean daring you to keep looking.
