Marathon Half Day Private Tour with licensed guide
Duration
5 hours
Overview
-
Uncover the history of the battle of Marathon, the most important of the ancient years on this private, full-day tour from Athens with your own licensed guide and not just a driver!
The beauty of having a private licensed guide and not just a driver guide is that any commentary is tailored to your interests. Only a licensed guide can escort you inside the museum and the archeological places.
Your first stop is Lake Marathon, of immense natural beauty. You can have a coffee or a snack at the cafe (own expense) and stroll leisurely toward Marathon Dam, entirely made with Pantelicon white marble, the world’s only marble dam.
Second stop the Marathon Museum which houses findings originating from the Battle of Marathon and from the Egyptian temple built nearby. Then visit the tomb of the Plateis who fought with the Athenians at the historic battle.
Third stop the Tomb of the Athenians, the burial mound which is the final resting place of 192 soldiers who died in the Battle of Marathon.
