• Kallimarmaro - Begin the Marathon tour at the first modern Olympic stadium, where the Marathon race concludes. The Marathon, spanning 40 km, is named after the town and covers the distance from Marathon to Athens. This distance was famously run by Pheidippides to deliver news of the Athenian triumph over the Persians at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE. The stadium, known as the Panathenaic Stadium or simply Kallimarmaro (meaning made of fine marble), is conveniently located near the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Arch of Hadrian, and the Acropolis. In 1886, the stadium was renovated to host the inaugural Modern Olympic Games in Athens.
• Marathon Lake - The journey continues north of Athens to Marathon Lake and Dam. The Marathon Dam is globally unique due to its exterior cladding of white Pendelikon marble, the same marble used for the Parthenon and other temples on the Acropolis. Constructed in 1929, the dam served as Athens’ primary water supply from 1931 to 1959. At the dam’s base, a replica of the Athenian Treasury temple at Delphi highlights the link between modern and ancient Athens.
• Marathon - The private tour proceeds to the archaeological site of Marathon, where visitors can explore the Tumulus of the Athenians, which houses the remains of approximately two hundred Athenians who perished in the Battle of Marathon. Another significant site is the Marathon Trophy, a replica of the original erected by the Athenians to celebrate their victory.
• Archaeological Museum of Marathon - The next stop is the Archaeological Museum of Marathon, featuring five thematic exhibition rooms, a patio, and a large storage basement. The museum’s collections, sourced from local excavations, span from the Neolithic period to the late Roman era, with notable items from the Tomb of the Athenians and prehistoric burial sites.
• Marathon - After visiting the museum, enjoy a coffee break or lunch by the sea in Marathon. Following the seaside meal, the driver will return you to your residence or the airport.
