This short video shows a marvel of Greek nature that few people know: the thermal springs that are next to the land where the battle of Thermopolyae took place in 480 BC during which the legendary King Leonidas and his 300 Spartans fought against the Persians.
The hot sulfur springs that gave the name to the place (Thermopylae in Greek means Hot Gates) are well known since mythological times. Today people from the nearby areas come here to take a bath and benefit from the therapeutic properties.
