Thermopylae

Thermopylae is a place in Greece where a narrow coastal passage existed in antiquity. It derives its name from its hot sulphur springs. In Greek mythology the Hot Gates is one of the entrances to Hades. Thermopylae is the site of a battle between the Greek forces and the invading Persian forces, commemorated by Simonides of Ceos in the famous epitaph, "Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, That here obedient to their laws we lie." Thermopylae is the only land route large enough to bear any significant traffic between Lokris and Thessaly. To go from north to south along the east coast of the Balkan peninsula requires use of the pass, and so Thermopylae has been the site of several battles.

Battlefield of Thermopylae

The Battle of Thermopylae was fought between an alliance of Ancient Greek city-states, led by King Leonidas I of Sparta, and the Achaemenid Empire of Xerxes I. It was fought in 480 BC over the course of three days, during the second Persian invasion of Greece. The battle took place simultaneously with the naval battle at Artemisium. It occurred at the narrow coastal pass of Thermopylae ("The Hot Gates") in August or September 480 BC. The Persian invasion was a delayed response to the defeat of the first Persian invasion of Greece, which had been ended by the Athenian victory at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC. By 480 BC, Xerxes had amassed a massive army and navy and set out to conquer all of Greece. The Athenian politician and general Themistocles had proposed that the allied Greeks block the advance of the Persian army at the pass of Thermopylae, while simultaneously blocking the Persian navy at the Straits of Artemisium.

Costa was a wonderful driver full of great information about everywhere we went. Delphi is absolutely amazing….and big! Be ready for a lot of steps and ramps. It is worth it to go all the way to the top. Thermopylae was underwhelming. If you are tight on time skip it. But was nice to say we were there and the movie at the visitor’s Center was educational. Overall an amazing experience.

Make sure your guide is aware of the current opening and closing times of the Delphi site. Our guide got us there too late in the afternoon. We only had a few minutes and saw very little.
Good, but must-read notes…

Great driver. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic. Check the drive times! It’s 2.5 hours each way in a tight European car. Be careful if elderly. Oracle of Delphi / Temple of Apollo is up the face of a mountain and built into the slope. Everything requires walking in the sun. My 72yo mother really struggled to get up. Bring umbrellas to protect you from the sun, almost zero shade while exploring. Sunscreen a must. Didn’t book lunch thru Viator but driver gave us a great recommendation that ended up being one of the better meals we had in Athens vicinity. We were a party of three - elderly mom stayed in front seat, two young guys in back seat behind her with middle seat free. Wouldn’t have been comfortable at all with four people.
Perfect private day tour from Athens

We went for the Thermopylae and Delphi tour with Fotis. He was very friendly and also knowledgeable. Throughout the journey he kept us informing fun facts about not only the main attractions e.g Delphi and Thermopylae but also other surrounding cities and monuments. The communication related to pick up was perfect, and during the journey he made us feel home by looking after all small details such as drink water and routine breaks. Overall, I would strongly recommend this trip and Fotis as a great person.
