This website has apparently been around for many years, but I just found it.  It is a FREE ONLINE GLOBAL GAZETTEER by a company named Falling Rain Genomics, Inc. and looks like it could be very handy.   There are links for Greece, Cyprus and Turkey.  Here is a screen shot of Greece. Listed are all the Regions of Greece, for example, I clicked on Nomos Lakonias.   In Lakonias it then displays "Place Names" along with the Latitude, Longitude, Elevation (feet), and Population. From this list I picked Sparti.  The top portion of the page for Sparti is shown below.  What I found to be very helpful is that under the main title of the page there is a section titled "Other names": and it lists a variety of spellings for this particular location i.e. Sparte, Sparta, Lacedaemon, Spartē, Spárti, Lakedaimon, Lakedaímon.  As usual, good luck with your Greek family history genealogy research.
