Small regional airfield serving the historic city of Sparti.

Location
Sparti, Greece
Sparti Airfield (IATA: SPJ, ICAO: LGSP) is a small general aviation airport located near Sparti (Sparta) in the Laconia regional unit of the Peloponnese, Greece. It primarily serves light aircraft, private flights, and limited charter operations rather than scheduled commercial airline services. The airfield is situated in a relatively flat area of the Eurotas Valley, surrounded by the mountainous terrain characteristic of the Peloponnese. Due to its small size and limited infrastructure, it does not handle significant passenger volumes and functions mainly as a local aviation facility. Sparti is best known historically as the site of ancient Sparta, and the airfield provides convenient air access to the region for private and charter travelers visiting the area's archaeological and cultural attractions.
Getting to & from
Ground transport between the airfield and central Sparti is typically arranged via private vehicle or taxi, as no dedicated public transit links are established.
