A ROADSIDE INN ON THE ROAD PROM TRIPOIJS TO SPARTA 



Between Tripolis, the most important town in Arcadia, and Sparta, once the rival of Athens, 

 the modern road is little used. Tripolis, which occupies the sites of three earlier cities, is only 

 a hundred years old, but is one of the most important towns of the Peloponnesus. Sparta, less 

 than half the size of its modern rival, is also a new town on an old site and was founded after 

 the Greek War of Independence by King Otho.
