What To Expect

Marathon Tomb

Our first destination is the area of Marathon (75 minutes transportation from Athens), one of the most historic municipalities of ancient Greece. It became known from the heroic victory of the Greeks over the Persians (490 BC) during their first campaign to conquer Athens, the leading city-state of Ancient Greece. After the victorious outcome of the historic battles against the Persians, preventing the conquest of Ancient Greece by the Persian Empire, Greeks had the opportunity to thrive for three centuries, when they developed a remarkable civilization, on the basis of which Western civilization exists. We will visit the site where the famous and well-known battle of Marathon took place and, specifically, the cenotaph of the 192 Athenian soldiers killed in this triumph.
