Canyon sights in Lamia

  1. Thermopylae

    About 20km southeast of Lamia is the narrow pass of Thermopylae , where, in 480 BC, Leonidas and a band of 300 brave Spartans managed to temporarily halt the invading Persian army of Xerxes. A statue of Leonidas honours the heroic battle site where the Spartans ultimately perished against overwhelming odds.
