Are you a Marathon runner or an athlete? Are you visiting Athens for the Marathon race? As someone who has run the Athens Marathon twice, I designed this tour to share with fellow marathon enthusiasts the Marathon History and the iconic course of the Athens Marathon the Authentic. Tour highlights: -A guided visit to the legendary Panathinaic Stadium, the very finish line of the Athens Marathon. -Traverse the authentic 26. 2-mile (42. 195km) course, following (backward) the footsteps of Pheidippides, the ancient messenger who ran from Marathon to Athens to announce the incredible victory of the Greeks at the Battle of Marathon (490BC). -Explore the local Archaeological Museum, housing historical artifacts and stories related to the Battle of Marathon. -Visit the significant sites linked to the historic Battle. -Witness the serene beauty of the Marathon artificial lake and dam. Join this tour with your running buddies and experience the allure and legacy of the Athens Marathon!
Our adventure begins in Athens, at your hotel or in front of the Panathenaic Stadium, the finish line of the Marathon race. We either visit the site (entrance tickets needed) or recite stories about the Stadium while taking pictures from outside [1 hour] We'll follow the authentic marathon course backward towards Marathon [50'-1 hour each way]. -In Marathon, we'll see the starting line of the Marathon race. -Depending on your interests, we'll visit the Museum of the Marathon race, the local archaeological museum, and spots related to the legendary Battle of Marathon (490BC) between Greeks and Persians. -We'll stop for photos at the Marathon artificial lake and dam. -After capturing the spirit of the marathon race, we'll make our way back to Athens following the steps of the Marathon runners. Carry the essence of the historic journey, blending history, athleticism and a deep appreciation for the marathon tradition. *Please feel free to contact me before booking, in order to create a customized tour for yo
