With this tour you will have the chance to visit the famous Marathon town and discover the place that the modern marathon running was named after.
Starting from Athens the van will take you to Marathon, a town in Greece and the site of the legendary battle of Marathon in 490 BCE, in which the heavily outnumbered Athenian army defeated the Persians. Legend has it that Pheidippides, a Greek herald at the battle, was sent running all the way from Marathon to Athens to announce the victory, which is how the marathon running race was conceived in modern times.
After that you will be taken back to your accommodation in Athens.
