Bezienswaardigheden in Marathon
Marathon Highlights
Marathon's archaeological landscape is anchored by the Tomb of the Athenians, a 5th-century BC tumulus housing the fallen from the historic 490 BC battle. The coastal site of Rhamnous preserves a fortified acropolis and the Temple of Nemesis, while the Sanctuary of the Egyptian Gods at Brexiza displays unique Roman-era religious architecture.
