I have been to visit the site.
Any recommendations on places to go in that area? We're probably
going to Florence next but it's not certain. Been talking about
Germany too.
Uh, Thermopylae is in far northeastern Greece.


um ....Thanks I know how to use google maps though. Did you think I
thought it was in Germany too.
I didn't know where you thought it was, that's why I volunteered it might
not be convenient to your proposed itinerary.

You can watch the move "300" and get all you need to know. The movie is
interesting for two reasons: 1) It is historically VERY accurate, down to
the speeches given to the warriors and the Spartan Senate, and 2) It is a
remarkable adaptation of a comic book to the screen. Much better than
Superman, Batman, Cinderella, or any other the others.



They are quite a distance from each other.
