What you'll see and do
Panathenaic Stadium
The Panathenaic Stadium dates back to the 4th century B.C. and was the site of the first modern Olympic games in 1896 and remains the starting point of the Olympic flame torch relay. Made entirely of white marble, it's an impressive sight that's earned it the nickname Kallimarmaro or "beautiful marble". There are even a couple of hours in the morning designated for morning jogs when you run in the footsteps of former Olympians.

The Marathon’s Archeological site, in the eastern part of Attica prefecture, is worldwide famous for the same name battle of Marathon in 490 BC, were Athenians and their allies Plataeans (around 11.000) have been clashed with the Persians (more than 125.000) during their expedition and their invasion effort to Greece. Actually, Athenians managed to repel the Persians invasion and destroy their army and fleet (Salamina’s battleship) and to maintain alive their culture, philosophy, art, theater and innovative politics, as a lighting house for democracy and today’s western civilization. The relevant tomb is the cemetery for 200 hundreds of Athenians who fell in the battle of Marathon, supporting their values and principles. In the north of the tomb, there is a marble trophy, erected by the Athenians to commemorate their win and honoring their fighters who felt in the battle. A lot of historical artifacts are exposed in the nearby archeological museum of Marathon.

Time Well Spent
What a fantastic day. George was an excellent guide, he was incredibly knowledgeable and we had great discussions throughout our day. We really enjoyed being out of Athens for the day and exploring more out of the way spots that were very interesting. We visited the Panathenaic Stadium, Marathon Battlefield, Brauron Archeological Site, The Archeological Museum in Marathon, and the Temple of Poseidon. We had plenty of time to explore and engage, we never felt rushed.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to write this review . Always at your service.

Doing a Marathon the easy way

Perfect day trip in Athens
Our driver was friendly and punctual picking us up at the cruiseport and dropping off at the airport after visiting multiple sights. Giorgos gave us great information on the history and logistics of each stop as we drove so we could maximize our time at the sights (Marathon, Temples of Artemis and Poseidon, and related museums). All the sights had English signs so we could explore at our own pace. Great last day in Greece.

Marathon Battlefield, Artemis & Poseidon Temple Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Marathon Battlefield, Artemis & Poseidon Temple Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at €49 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Marathon Battlefield, Artemis & Poseidon Temple Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is Marathon Battlefield, Artemis & Poseidon Temple Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Marathon Battlefield, Artemis & Poseidon Temple Private Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Marathon Battlefield, Artemis & Poseidon Temple Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Marathon Battlefield, Artemis & Poseidon Temple Private Tour?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Marathon Battlefield, Artemis & Poseidon Temple Private Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
