Sparti is a small town that stands on the site of the famous ancient city-state of Sparta on the southeastern side of the Peloponnese. Sparta was famous for its strong and sometimes violent military. The modern town of Sparti is located just adjacent to the ancient town and was the first Greek town to be built as a planned city, meaning it has a well-planned city center and other architectural spaces. There is very little in the way of amenities for tourists visiting Sparti, as most stop on their way to other places in the area, such as Elafonissos, Gythio and Monemvasia. Map
