Evrotas river, just outside the city of Sparta
The Evrótas (Greek: Ευρώτας) or Eurotas is a river in the Peloponnese in southern Greece. The river originates in the Taygetos mountains and flows for 82 km. It flows through the city of Sparta and empties into the Laconic Gulf. Historically, it was used as a transportation method by the Ancient Spartans as an alternative to their port located at Gytheio.
