Itinerario
Leonida era un re della città-stato greca di Sparta, e il diciassettesimo della linea di Agìa, una dinastia che rivendicava la discendenza dal semidio mitologico Eracle e Cadmo. Leonida era figlio del re Anaxandrida II. Successe al fratellastro re Cleomene I al trono nel 489 a.C. Leonida ebbe una notevole partecipazione alla seconda guerra persiana, dove guidò le forze greche alleate ad un'ultima posizione nella battaglia delle Termopili (480 a.C.) mentre tentava di difendere il passo dall'esercito persiano invasore; morì in battaglia ed entrò nel mito come capo dei 300 Spartani. Mentre i greci persero questa battaglia, furono in grado di espellere gli invasori persiani nell'anno successivo.
Accanto al monumento di Leonida, nelle storiche Termopili, si trova l’innovativo museo del Comune di Lamia, dedicato alla battaglia del 480 a.C. che cambiò il corso della storia greca. Progetto scientifico della Fondazione del Mondo Ellenico, il Centro di Informazione Storica delle Termopili ha aperto le sue porte al pubblico nel 2010. L’edificio, a forma di antica punta di lancia rivolta a nord come se fosse rivolto verso gli invasori, si caratterizza per il suo design ergonomico che si applica alle più moderne finalità museologiche e presenta pannelli di vetro che permettono di entrare in abbondanza di luce naturale. Il Centro rappresenta la storia come narrazione e discorso interattivo: Nelle sue tre sale espositive -denominate Leonida, Dienekes e Termopili- le applicazioni multimediali offrono ai visitatori un viaggio virtuale nel tempo e nei campi di battaglia delle guerre persiane, come raccontato dallo storico antico Erodoto, mentre la battaglia stessa delle Termopili prende vita in un film digitale in 3D.
La battaglia delle Termopili condotta nel 480 a.C. tra greci e persiani nello stesso periodo in cui si svolse la battaglia navale di Artemision. All'inizio di settembre l'esercito persiano ha guidato il mio Serse raggiunge i passaggi delle Termopili. I greci hanno scelto questo punto strategico per affrontare l'attacco persiano. Serssi ha ordinato a Leonide, il capo dell'esercito greco di consegnare la sua armeria, ma lui ha risposto "Vieni a prenderli". Per due giorni consecutivi i greci combatterono eroicamente. Il terzo giorno Efialte tradisce i Greci, mostrando ai Persiani il passaggio in modo da arrivare al lato posteriore dei Greci. Quindi, l'esercito persiano circonda i greci. Leonide rimane nel luogo della battaglia insieme a 300 Spartani, 700 Tespiei e 400 Ladri, fedeli alle sue leggi nazionali. Cadde morto per le frecce persiane.
Kamena Vourla è una città di mare vicino ad Atene. Il suo paesaggio verde lussureggiante e le splendide spiagge vi incanteranno. Troverete anche diversi ristoranti e caffetterie.
Le Terme delle Termopili si trovano a 15 km. dalla città di Lamia. La zona è conosciuta dalla battaglia delle Termopili tra Greci e Persiani nel 480 a.C. Accanto alla strada si trova la statua di Leonida e la collina sacra, dove Leonida cadde combattendo con i 300 Spartani e i 700 Tespi. Secondo la mitologia, Efesto, su richiesta della dea Atena, creò le sorgenti in modo che Ercole potesse lavarsi e recuperare le forze dopo le sue fatiche.

Great experience with our guide, Nikos. He was very knowledgeable and personable. The Thermopylae site is undergoing improvements but completely accessible and apparently easier to navigate than in the past. Nikos pointed out all the key sites and was very flexible on what we wanted to explore. Great day

The experience was incredible and honestly surreal. The museum admission was very affordable, and the trip itself was exactly the right length. The atmosphere there was amazing — you could really feel the history around you. My guide made it even better with how knowledgeable he was about Thermopylae and Greek history overall, while also being super friendly and accommodating. I’d absolutely do the trip again with him and the company, and I’d easily recommend it to others.

A great experience for those interested on military history. There were two of us in the group and th driver engaged with us sharing his knowledge about Thermopyle and the battles that preceded and followed it. He also described points of interest along the way. The museum is small and fee, which wasn't included was 3 Euros, so no issue, but have the correct amount ready. The lunch stop was a great spot, with amazing views of the Aegean and nearby islands. Excellent for enthusiasts.

I had a fantastic experience on my tour to Thermopylae. Our driver/guide was very friendly, flexible, and knowledgeable, which made the trip both enjoyable and informative. He was also very punctual and professional, which made the entire day run smoothly. What I appreciated most was how attentive he was to our needs throughout the journey. He regularly checked in to see if we wanted to make extra stops, whether for photos, a quick break, or simply to take in the scenery. That level of flexibility made the tour feel relaxed and personalized rather than rushed. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in visiting Thermopylae in a comfortable and well-organized way.

It's difficult to review this fairly. Our driver was pleasant, friendly and helpful, and an excellent, safe driver. However, Thermopylae itself is not a good day out. The 'museum' has almost nothing in it bar a 3D film explaining the battle quite well - for an extra EU3 each! The two monuments are impressive, but other than that, there is nothing to see at the battlefield site. The hot springs 'spa' is just a hydrothermal spring and waterfall. As it was the middle of winter we did not bring our swimming gear, but there was plenty of time had we wanted to sit in the hot sulphurous water
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re very glad to hear that you found your driver pleasant, friendly, and a safe, excellent driver—that’s something we take great pride in. Thermopylae is a site whose value is strongly tied to its historical significance rather than the amount of physical attractions on display. For visitors deeply interested in ancient history, especially the Battle of Thermopylae, the location and monuments can feel powerful for others, it can understandably feel underwhelming in terms of “things to do.” The hot springs, too, are very natural and rustic rather than a developed spa—some guests enjoy that simplicity, while others expect more facilities. We truly appreciate you sharing both the positives and the limitations of the experience. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
