Welcome to Marathon, where history, nature & Sea, and legend blend together.
Picture this: an ancient soldier running 42 kilometers to Athens to declare victory in the Battle of Marathon – and inspiring the world’s first marathon race. Luckily, you don’t have to run to feel like a hero here!
Each year, the 1st Sunday of November thousands of runners both professional & amateurs gather in Marathon to perform the Classic Marathon Run.
Visit the Marathon Tomb where soldiers are honored, and pop into the Marathon Museum for fascinating artifacts from the battle and more.
And if you’re feeling inspired, take a leisurely walk around the area, breathing in the same air as those legendary warriors!
Not feeling that active? Numerous of taverns with Fish and Meat can be found in the area. Enjoy a nice Coffee or a drink at the boulevard of "Paralia" Marathona.
