Thermopylae ("hot gateway") is a location in Greece where a narrow coastal passage existed in antiquity. It derives its name from several natural hot water springs.

You may watch my 13 high resolution photos on Slide-show Arachova and Thermopylae out of my WebShot page.

You may also watch my 2 min 32 min Video-clips Thermopylae or 4 min 52 sec Thermopylae Version 16:9 out of my VT-tube with Lux Aeterna Music Requiem for a Dream.

 What an interesting and historic spot to visit! A pity though, that pedestrians cannot cross the (inevitable) road through the pass.

 Ah yes, what boy never heard of the famous Battle of Thermopylae!! It must have been nice to actually visit the famous site yourself! Too bad about the highway cutting it in half though.
