Thermopylae

Thermopylae is well known for the battles that took place there specifically the one in 480 BCE between King Leonidas of Sparta and Xerxes I of the Persian Empire. The movie 300 was based on this battle at a narrow pass where a small group of Greeks managed to hold the progress of a massive Persian Army for three days.
We climbed up a hill to see a monument here as well as some of what was left of a wall.

Thermopylae means hot gates. It is named for the hot springs located here. We went to see them and feel the water; it was very warm. Our leader gave us a warning talk before we got there that often you will see nude swimmers. However, we only saw speedo. No nudity.

How many minutes? We will never know.
