The
Eurotas or
Evrotas (Greek: Ευρώτας) is the main river of
Laconia and one of the major rivers of the
Peloponnese, in
Greece. The river's springs are located just northwest of the border between Laconia and
Arcadia, at
Skortsinos. The river is also fed by underwater springs at
Pellana and by tributaries coursing down from
Mt. Taygetos and
Mt. Parnon, which flank the Eurotas valley to the west and east, respectively. The river is long, flowing in a north-south direction and emptying into the
Laconian Gulf.
