Sounio Golden View Villas
Fantastic location and a wonderful unit. Lots of room, the amenities were spot on. Easy access to a cove beach below. You can walk trails and view the Poseidon temple, took about an hour round-trip, but you can do it! This appears to be the best unit in this building. At least we thought so.
