driving down from athens...

If you are renting a car in Greece I'm sure they will give you a map, but just keep in mind that as you are driving from Athens to Sparti, you want to follow the following signs: Corinth to Tripoli to Sparti. The signs are in Greek with English below. I downloaded a map for Southern Greece from The Ministry of Tourism (download the Southern Greece Map). It seems as you head south from Athens you take E94 towards Corinth. About 100km down, the road splits, make sure to veer LEFT towards TRIPOLI, and not right to Patra. Once past Tripoli the road narrows a bit and gets a bit winding, so just take it slow and be aware of the signs that read: Sparti.

OK, hope that helps. Safe travels!!!
