Archaeological Museum of Marathon — Attraction in Municipality of Marathonas

A really interesting museum in a fascinating area. The exhibit is small but filled with really interesting artifacts. A very neat display with information in both Greek and English for everything. The staff is super friendly and speaks decent English. There are also two tombs sites (tumulus) in the museum area, one is in a building right next to the museum and one can be seen only with a tour guide from the museum's staff and resides within a short walking distance. Really worth the visit.

Getting here can be a bit tricky, as the transport is awkward and the museum sits somewhat in the middle of nowhere. That said, the setting is peaceful, and it makes for a nice stop if you’re already exploring the Marathon region.

The staff are very helpful and welcoming, which adds to the overall experience. If you’re interested in history and want a quieter, more intimate museum visit, this is a...
