Description: This 4.50-drachma definitive postage stamp was released by the Hellenic Post as a key component of the highly popular 1961 Tourism Issue. The artistic design honors Cape Sounion (written as "ΣΟΥΝΙΟΝ" in the top-left corner), the historic southern headland of the Attica peninsula. Perched majestically on the summit is the Temple of Poseidon, built during the Golden Age of Athens to honor the god of the sea, while a small, traditional sailing vessel maneuvers through the swells below. The bottom border displays the country name "ΕΛΛΑΣ" (Hellas) paired with the numeric denomination layout.
Circa: 1960s
