• Right on the Sounio road, beside Leoforos Athinon Souniou, so it works as a stop on a drive down the coast
• Salt pans closed in 1968, so expect empty pans and canals in a wetland, not working salt heaps
• Bring what you need: the official listing names no café, toilets or play area at the site

The flat land between Anavyssos town and the sea was a salt works from at least 1520 until 1968. Canals fed seawater into pans, where it dried into big white crystals each summer.

Refugees from Palea Phocaea in Asia Minor worked the pans in the early 20th century. Today it is still wetland, a short stop for kids curious about where salt comes from.
