This Is Sparta!
We drove through Sparta, totally hyped up to see the remnants of the legendary warrior culture.
As legendary as Sparta is as a culture, they weren't really known for their architectural pursuits. Which is why the present-day ruins of ancient Sparta look kind of like an abandoned camping ground.

But the cliffs/mountains in the area are still legendary. I ended up being the driver on twisting, turning, winding mountain roads that even passed under and through parts of the cliffs. It was a fun, yet white-knuckle, driving experience since there was also head-on traffic!
