"The tomb of Menelaus and Helen (of Troy)"
Therapne was among the most ancient communities of Greece. During the Bronze Age there was a large settlement at Therapne, with shrines to Menelaus and Helen.
The ruins of ancient Therapne, a Bronze Age city stood on a ridge on the left bank of the Eurotas River, overlooking the Eurotas Valley and the site of Dorian Sparta. Therapne is near the old road that led from Therapne or Dorian Sparta over Platanaki Pass just south of the main peak of Parnon to the Argolic Gulf. The pass connected Bronze Age Mycenae with its sister kingdom, Lacedaemon.
The ridge has an elevation of about 500 m. Its eminence over the river is about 230 m. From the top of the ridge the valley below appears as a sunken bowl between Mount Taygetus and Therapne, hence the Homeric epithet "Hollow Lacedaemon." Some refer to it as Menelaion from a temple that stood on the ridge.

Θεράπνη ή Θεράπναι
Αρχαία πόλη, ο σημαντικότερος προϊστορικός οικισμός της Λακωνίας, μετά τις Αμύκλες. Βρισκόταν ανατολικά της Σπάρτης, κοντά στον Ευρώτα και αποτελούσε λατρευτικό κέντρο του Μενέλαου, της Ελένης και των Διόσκουρων. Πήρε την ονομασία της από τη Θεράπνη, κόρη του βασιλιά της Σπάρτης Λέλεγα. Στην περιοχή βρέθηκαν λείψανα μυκηναϊκού οικισμού και ίχνη από το ναό που ήταν αφιερωμένος στο Μενέλαο.

This is a special place. I once parked a rental car at the chapel down the hill and walked up at sunset alone. I had the whole place to myself. It felt isolated and peaceful, and the view was epic👍

Γεια σου φίλε Τάκη. Φυσικά και πάτησα το " μου αρέσει"  όπως και έκανα την απαραίτητη εγγραφή. Εγώ βέβαια είδα 6 εκδρομικά βιντεάκια και όχι 3 στα οποία αναφέρεται ο φίλος ο Κώστας εκ Λευκωσίας. Any way.  Οφείλω να ομολογίσω ότι έκανες εκπληκτική δουλειά. Συγχαρητήρια. Γιάννης από Ρέθυμνο.

Είδα και τα 3 βίντεο, άκρως ενδιαφέροντα, Τάκη. Έκανα εγγραφή στο κανάλι για να παρακολουθώ αντίστοιχες αναρτήσεις. Καλή βραδιά, εκ Λευκωσίας, Κώστας
