Visit Thermopylae, the site of a feat engraved in Greek history.

It was near the present-day village of Thermopylae/Θερμοπύλες ("hot gates") that one of the most famous battles of antiquity took place: in 480 BC, the Spartan king Leonidas and 1,000 Greek hoplites sacrificed themselves to delay the Achaemenid army. Next to the memorial (1955), an information center broadcasts a 12-minute documentary. To the south, a 400 m path leads to the "Phocaean wall", where the Greeks are said to have fought their last stand.

Un site chargé d'une histoire impressionnante. Par contre, cette histoire est un peu mal mise en valeur sur ce site. Néanmoins il vaut la peine d'y faire un arrêt si vous vous trouvez dans la région. Pour comprendre encore mieux l'histoire de ce site, je recommande de regarder le film très connu"300" avant de s'y rendre ;)
