Enjoy a half-day private excursion to Marathon, a place of rich history and natural beauty

 

Famous for the ‘Battle of Marathon’ that took place in 490 B.C.E., Marathon is one of the most beautiful places in Attica. The drive along the impressive coastline is a beautiful experience in its own right with gardens, vineyards, olive groves, and wild vegetation. The same is true for the artificial Marathon Lake with an impressive marble dam. 

Highlights

  • Enjoy a private guided tour of the archeological site of Marathon
  • Enjoy beautiful views of the Marathon Lake and its surroundings
  • Admire the Marathon Tomb
  • Learn the story of the  ‘Battle of Marathon’

You will first stop to admire the Marathon Tomb, the final resting place of the 192 soldiers who died in the ancient ‘Battle of Marathon’. Your guide will provide information about this historically significant event, as well as the symbolism of the Olympic Marathon race. Then you will visit the archeological museum of Marathon, where you will admire findings dating back from the Neolithic Era and up to the 2nd century A.C.E.
