Thermopylae day Trip from Athens-Private Tour
The Experience
The tour starts from Athens. Driving north from Athens we’ll stop for about 15 minutes to see the natural lake Ylikii.Then we will stop at the Thermopylae, the place that the battle of the 300 Spartans took place at 480 BC.There is a memorial shows the Spartan King Leonids on the top of a wall with the words "Molon Lavei" written under the statue. The phrase means, "Come and get it". This is the phrase that Leonidas said to the Persian king when he told Leonidas to hand over his weapons. The phrase has become a slogan of defiance all over the world. Across the highway from the modern memorial is the ancient memorial that was placed there shortly after the battle. It is a small carved stone plaque that says, "stranger, tell the Spartans that we lay here obedient to their laws". Then we are going to visit the museum and you’ll have the opportunity to see a video that describes the life of the Spartans worriers and the fight and a room with virtual reality games for the battle as well.
