Just when you think Marathon is all about history, the Marathon Dam shows you another side of the area. Built to supply water to Athens, this dam has turned into a beautiful getaway spot where mountains and water create a picture-perfect scene.
Pack a picnic (or pick up some snacks along the way) and spend a relaxed afternoon soaking up the serenity. There’s even a marble plaque reminding visitors of Marathon’s history – perfect for a little extra context while you enjoy the view.
