Leonidas was son of King Anaxandridas II. He succeeded his half-brother King Cleomenes I to the throne in 489 BC. Leonidas had a notable participation in the Second Persian War, where he led the allied Greek forces to a last stand at the Battle of Thermopylae (480 BC) while attempting to defend the pass from the invading Persian army; he died at the battle and entered myth as the leader of the 300 Spartans. While the Greeks lost this battle, they were able to expel the Persian invaders in the following year.

My friend and I decided to book a private tour to Delphi with a stop at Thermopylae since we wanted to enjoy it at our own pace. We got the best driver we could have asked for - Nikos! He waited outside our hotel 10 min before, prepared with bottles of water and a friendly greeting. Nikos was peaceful and checked if we were in the mood to talk or just relax and acted accordingly. He told us the story of the battle in Thermopylae, a bit about Sparta in general, and about Delphi as well. We even got some great tips for Athens! We had plenty of time to spend at each stop and had lunch in a very nice Tavern in Delphi that even had some Vegan options available! As the final stop, we got to take in the view of the picturesque town of Arachova. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a laidback, comfortable day trip to Delphi.

We could not be more pleased. Our driver was friendly and informative; the car was comfortable and immaculate. The place the driver took us for lunch was wonderful. It was a long day, but I knew that starting out. This was a way to see both sites and we are so glad we went.
