What To Expect

Marathon Lake

The Marathon Lake is an artificial lake, about 45 km from the center of Athens, which is used as a water reservoir to supply the city of Athens with drinking water. The dam was constructed from 1926 to 1929 to cover the capital growing irrigation needs after the huge immigration wave that followed the Asia Minor War (1919-1922). This was the sole water supplier for Athens until 1959 when water was pulled from Yliki Lake, close to the town of Thebes.

Marathon Tomb

The Tomb of Marathon is a significant historical site that offers visitors a chance to learn about one of the most important battles in ancient Greek history. The tomb serves as a reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the Athenian soldiers who fought and died in the Battle of Marathon. The tomb’s large size and impressive architecture are a testament to the importance of the battle and the soldiers who fought in it. The statue of Miltiades, located next to the tomb, is a fitting tribute to the general who led the Greek forces to victory. The small park around the tomb offers visitors a peaceful and reflective space to contemplate the significance of the battle and the sacrifices made by the soldiers who fought in it. The marble column erected as a reminder of the battle is a poignant symbol of the bravery and sacrifice of the Athenian soldiers.

Sanctuary of the Egyptian Gods (at Brexiza)

The complex was founded by Herodes Atticus, around 160 AD. The great orator, sophist and benefactor hailed from Marathon and resided here, and the complex was possibly established within his estate. The sanctuary can be identified as “the sanctuary of Canopus” referred to by Herodes’ biographer Philostratos (2nd-3rd cent. AD). In founding it, Herodes imitated the Emperor Hadrian, who had built a Serapeion on an artificial islet at Tivoli, close to Rome, modeled on the Serapeion of the town of Canopus on the Nile Delta.
