Many people make their way to Greece for several reasons. There are many great historically significant cities and places of interest but many people want to see where one of the most important battles occurred. Of course the battle did not happen at the actual location of the city of Sparta, but an army of 300 soldiers which came from the area which eventually happened at Thermopylae. The small army of 300 and some other troops were defeated there but not without causing a large disruption in the Persian army of over 7000 soldiers. This is a great location that has been popularized by the recent cinema graphic films that chronicled the great battle. The city of Sparta is a beautiful place to visit that is a history buff’s dream. Of course it is much different than it was more than 2000 years ago, but some of the original buildings are still there to look into and research.
