About Lamia

Lamia is the capital of Phthiotis and the most important city of central Greece south of Thessaly — a city of 75,000 inhabitants in the valley of the Sperchios River, historically controlling the pass of Thermopylae (the most famous military pass in Greek history, 30km south, where Leonidas and the 300 Spartans made their legendary stand against the Persian army of Xerxes in 480 BCE) and the gateway between central and northern Greece. Lamia is built below the ancient acropolis (the Kastro of Lamia, a Byzantine and Frankish fortress with impressive walls and a small archaeological museum) and preserves a pleasant traditional Greek city character with a lively central square and café culture.

Lamia's most celebrated nearby attraction is Thermopylae (30km south on the Athens–Thessaloniki national road) — the narrow coastal pass between the sea and the mountains where the 300 Spartans under King Leonidas held the Persian army of approximately 100,000–300,000 men for three days in August 480 BCE, one of the most celebrated acts of sacrifice and military heroism in Western history, commemorated by Simonides's famous epitaph ('Go tell the Spartans...'). The modern Thermopylae monument (the bronze statue of Leonidas with the famous 'Molon Labe' — 'Come and Take Them' — inscription, and the nearby Sperchios valley landscape) gives the site an emotional and historical weight of extraordinary significance. The Fthiotis countryside — the Sperchios valley, the ancient city of Lamia and the Othrys mountain range — gives the region a natural and heritage character quite different from the coastal and island destinations of most Greek tourism.

Important Transfer Information

Thermopylae — 300 Spartans and the Most Famous Military Pass in History: Thermopylae (30km south of Lamia) — the narrow coastal pass where Leonidas and his 300 Spartans held the Persian army of Xerxes for three days in 480 BCE, one of the most celebrated acts of military sacrifice in Western history — is the most historically resonant single landscape in Greece. The Leonidas monument (bronze, with the Molon Labe inscription) and the battlefield landscape give the site an emotional intensity entirely disproportionate to its modest appearance.

Lamia Kastro — Byzantine and Frankish Citadel: The Kastro of Lamia (Byzantine and Frankish fortification above the city, with well-preserved curtain walls, towers and a small archaeological museum with finds from the Lamia region) gives the city a historic citadel of considerable atmosphere — the views over the Sperchios valley and the surrounding mountains from the fortress walls are among the finest in central Greece.
