This full-day tour explores one of the most legendary battles in world military history, combined with relaxed wine-tasting in one of Greece’s most famous wineries. The journey north unfolds through some of central Greece’s most striking scenery: coastal stretches, river valleys and rising mountain corridors that gradually narrow into the legendary pass of Thermopylae. The landscape itself explains why this ground was chosen and why it mattered. Standing on the exact ground where Leonidas and his 300 warriors stood in August 480BC, the expert military advisors will bring to life for you the three-day titanic battle phase by phase: the initial deployments, the holding actions, the repeated assaults, the role of elite troops and the critical breach that sealed the defenders’ fate. Terrain, visibility and space are examined exactly as Leonidas and his 300 warriors experienced them.
