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, 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. This is a tour strictly to see the battlefields and the scenery (drive via mountains & coast), there are few ancient ruins to see. Finish the day with a lunch or dinner in front the sea.

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!

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.
