You might be disappointed. It looks nothing like the way it's portrayed in movies, and very little like it did during the battle.
From Wikipedia:
View of the Thermopylae pass from the area of the Phocian Wall. In ancient times, the coastline would have been much closer to the mountain, near the road to the right. This is a result of sedimentary deposition.
