someone else is driving. The route to the Peloponnese by road involves a far
greater distance through ghastly urban sprawl.

OTOH 90% of the new motorway goes nowhere near any urban sprawl

When I circuited Athens back in 2009 I was disappointed I couldn't even
see the Acropolis from a distance.

The 'urban sprawl' happens at Sparta itself, but it's not a large
distance to cross.
