Now arriving to the area of sounion where the temple of Poseidon is, a bit further north you enter the beautiful National Park of Sounio, a mountain with a pine forest. There is a normal road and only a small part of well maintened dirt road to arrive to the ancient site of where they processed the minerals to extract the silver. You will see with your eyes the technology they used thousands of years ago. An amazing site and proof of the innovative minds of ancient Greece.

The ''dollar'' of these times was the silver drachma, widely accepted in all of the mediteranean.
