Overview

Our suggestions include visits to archaeological sites with the main theme being the Battle of Marathon such as the Marathon Tomb and the archaeological museum of the area. Also in combination with an idyllic stroll on the beach of Nea Makri you can enjoy your coffee, snack, or drink just a few meters from the Sanctuary of the Egyptian Gods. For those who love sports, a visit to the Athens Marathon starting point is a must, as is the walk to the Marathon Road Museum. Finally, we would not miss the view from the Marathon Dam.

Schinias: One of the most beautiful areas of Athens to visit is the Schinias Park where you will be able to combine great swimming, relaxation, incredible natural beauty, birdwatching or walking.

What To Expect

Marathon Lake

Marathon Lake is an artificial lake at a distance of about 26km from the center of Athens. The dam was constructed from 1926 to 1929 to cover the growing needs of the capital for water after the huge immigration wave that followed the Asia Minor War (1919-1922). This lake matches perfectly with the natural surrounding and above the dam, there is a coffee restaurant with an amazing view. At the time of its construction, the Marathon Dam was a major symbol of modernization for Greece. The dam is found about 10 min drive from the location of the Marathon Battle, signifying the connection of future with the past and was built with high-quality Pantelic marble, the same material that was used in the Parthenon. At the base of the dam, the workers built a replica of the Athenian Treasury Temple in Delphi. This building is a replica and commemorates a victory at Marathon in wrestling from nature its life-giving water for the citizens of Athens.

Marathon Tomb

At the battle of Marathon, the Athenians suffered significant losses. Although they won, 192 Athenians died trying to defend their city from the enemy. Their bodies lie there, at the awe-inspiring Marathon Tomb or else known Tomb of the Athenians. On the Marathon plain, the tomb is 9 meters high and has been the place where the Athenians paid tribute to their deaths every year. This is one of the monuments that you will see, after reaching Marathon. Immense respect to the ones who gave their life for what they believed in, ever since antiquity.
