Itinerary
Thermopylae
2 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeThe Battle of Thermopylae took place in 480 BCE during the second Persian invasion of Greece. King Xerxes I led a vast Persian army to conquer the Greek city-states. At the narrow pass of Thermopylae, a small Greek force of about 7,000 men, led by King Leonidas of Sparta and including his famous 300 Spartans, made a heroic stand. For two days, the Greeks held off the much larger Persian army using the terrain to their advantage. On the third day, a traitor named Ephialtes showed the Persians a hidden path through the mountains, allowing them to surround the Greeks. Leonidas and his men fought to the death, buying time for the rest of Greece to prepare. Though a tactical loss, the battle became a symbol of bravery and sacrifice, inspiring later victories at Salamis and Plataea that ultimately saved Greece from Persian rule.Thermopyles Hot Springs
2 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeThe Thermopylae hot springs have been known since ancient times for their healing properties and mythological significance. Located near the famous battlefield, the springs get their name from "Thermo" (hot) and "Pylae" (gates), meaning “Hot Gates.” According to legend, the waters were created by the hero Heracles, who struck the ground to create a spring where he could heal after battle. The springs are rich in sulfur and other minerals, known to relieve skin and joint conditions. Ancient Greeks and Romans visited them for therapeutic purposes. Today, the hot springs flow freely in a natural setting, attracting visitors seeking relaxation and a connection to both history and nature. The surrounding area, with its link to the legendary 480 BCE Battle of Thermopylae, offers a unique blend of wellness, mythology, and heritage.Holy Monastery of Panagia Damastas
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe path of Ephialtes near the Monastery of Damastas is linked to one of the most pivotal moments in ancient Greek history. In 480 BCE, during the Battle of Thermopylae, the traitor Ephialtes revealed a hidden mountain path to the Persian army, allowing them to outflank the defending Greek forces led by King Leonidas of Sparta. This secret route, known as the Anopea Path, passed near the area where the Damastas Monastery stands today, on the slopes of Mount Kallidromon. While the exact trail has changed over time, the region preserves the memory of betrayal and the fall of the heroic last stand at Thermopylae. The Monastery of Damastas, built centuries later, offers a peaceful spiritual contrast to this dramatic historical event. Visiting the area connects you to both the natural beauty of the mountain and a moment that shaped Western history.Thermopylae Museum
30 minsAdmission Ticket Not IncludedYou must visit the Infopoint of Thermopylae because it brings the legendary battle to life through interactive exhibits, videos, and 3D models. Located near the actual battlefield, it helps you understand the geography, strategy, and historical context of the famous stand of Leonidas and the 300 Spartans. You’ll explore the events of 480 BCE, learn about the weapons, armor, and tactics used, and see how the narrow pass shaped the outcome. The Infopoint also honors the legacy of heroism and sacrifice, making your visit to Thermopylae far more meaningful. It’s an essential stop for anyone who wants to connect deeply with one of history’s most iconic moments.Thermopylae
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe fortified hill of Kolonos, located near the modern-day site of Thermopylae, is believed to be the place where King Leonidas and his remaining Greek warriors made their final stand during the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BCE. After two days of holding back the massive Persian army, the Greeks were betrayed by Ephialtes, who revealed a secret mountain path to the Persians. Surrounded and vastly outnumbered, Leonidas, his 300 Spartans, and a few hundred Thespians and Thebans retreated to Kolonos Hill to fight to the death. Excavations have found spearheads and arrowheads, confirming intense fighting in the area. Today, Kolonos stands as a symbol of ultimate bravery and sacrifice. A monument near the hill honors the fallen warriors, with a plaque quoting the famous epitaph: "Stranger, tell the Spartans that here we lie, obedient to their laws." The hill remains a sacred site and a powerful reminder of the values of courage, duty, and freedom.
