What you will see
Sparta is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 12:31:21 local time, the Moon hides 83.6% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 11:14:24 and ends at 13:49:40, 2 h 35 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 66° above the horizon, towards the south-east, so you want a clear view in that direction from Sparta.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 467 km south-west of Sparta.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Massah, about 486 km south, where totality lasts 1 m 06 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
