About this experience
We visit Marathon, Thermopylae, as travelers, not as tourists. We get as excited as you to travel, to enjoy the history, scenery & photography. If you want to see most of Marathon & Thermopylae Battle Fields, then we suggest to combine both sites in a full day tour. Schedule is flexible, but most importantly we will view the sites from all different angles. The day starts with a convenient pickup and takes you to the Marathon battle fields, Athenian Tomb, Marathon Bay & Museum. Next we drive via Marathon lake to Thermopylae. Visit the battle fields & King Leonidas Monument, Kolonos hill, Hot springs (Therms) & Interactive Museum. Continue to mount Parnassus to walk in Anopaia Atrapos (The path which traitor Efialtis guided the Persian army). Visit Damasta Monastery and see the view from different angles. This is a tour strictly to see the battlefields and the scenery (drive via mountains & coast), there are few ancient ruins to see.

Great tour for Military History Buffs!
If you love military history, this is the tour for you! Our tour guide Philip made the stories you’ve read come to life, and was full of interesting facts regarding battle strategies!
Response from the operator: Hello Megan. Thank you a lot for your kindness.

Marathon - Thermopylae/ Herodotus History private day tour
I truly enjoyed my time and trip with Nikolaos but I think it fair to let people know that what you'll see is limited. If you are a huge history buff or have a good classical background than you'll like this trip but if you are not initiated or knowledgeable than I think you'll be disappointed since there isn't any spectacular sites or museums/artefacts. Thermopylae is mostly a coffee shop and a single modern monument; the ancient battlefield is long gone as erosion has pushed the land out many kilometers from the mountains. While Marathon has a nice but small museum and the burial mound for the Athenian dead, but the whole area is now a modern town so you can't get a good visual of the ancient battlefield itself. Also, consider it is a lot of driving for all this.
Response from the operator: Hello Brandon....we are a bit sad with the 3 stars. In our description we right clearly, that this tour is only for people who love battle fields and have read Herodotus history Greek Persian wars. We clarify, that are not ruins to see. Iam also informed that Nikolaos took you in Thebes museum, which was out of schedule. Thank you for your kindness.

Why this scores 45

Marathon Thermopylae Anopaia Atrapos/ Damasta monastery up to 9h: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Marathon Thermopylae Anopaia Atrapos/ Damasta monastery up to 9h cost?
+
Prices start at $308 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 Thermopylae Anopaia Atrapos/ Damasta monastery up to 9h take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Thermopylae Anopaia Atrapos/ Damasta monastery up to 9h worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Marathon Thermopylae Anopaia Atrapos/ Damasta monastery up to 9h?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Marathon Thermopylae Anopaia Atrapos/ Damasta monastery up to 9h suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Marathon Thermopylae Anopaia Atrapos/ Damasta monastery up to 9h?
+
Around 1 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Marathon Thermopylae Anopaia Atrapos/ Damasta monastery up to 9h 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 Small Group E-Bike Tour, Small Group Greek Traditional Food Tour in Athens 20+ Tastings, Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis. 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.
