About Nea Makri
Nea Makri is a pleasant coastal town on the northeastern coast of Attica, situated on the Marathon Bay just 5 kilometres from the famous Marathon plain where in 490 BCE an Athenian army defeated a vastly larger Persian force in one of the most consequential battles in Western history. The town has a long sandy beach, good waterfront restaurants and a relaxed, predominantly Greek character — popular with Athenian families as a summer beach base within easy reach of the capital.
The Marathon archaeological site, just north of Nea Makri, includes the famous burial mound (Soros) of the 192 Athenian soldiers who fell in the battle — one of the most moving and historically significant monuments in Greece, and the origin of the marathon race itself (Pheidippides's legendary run from Marathon to Athens to announce the victory). The Marathon Archaeological Museum houses important finds from the site and from the surrounding area. The Marathon reservoir, constructed in the 1920s with a marble dam faced in Pentelic marble, is visible from the road and is one of the more remarkable pieces of infrastructure near Athens.
Important Transfer Information
Marathon Historical Site: The battle of Marathon (490 BCE) is 5km north of Nea Makri. The Soros burial mound, the marathon tomb, and the Marathon Archaeological Museum are accessible by car from the town. This is one of the most historically significant sites in Greece and a remarkable experience for anyone with an interest in ancient history.
Marathon Beach: Nea Makri beach and the Marathon Bay beaches are long, sandy and considerably less crowded than the beaches of the southern Athenian Riviera. The northeastern Attica coast is popular with Athenian families precisely because it retains a more local character than the southern resort areas.
Athens Proximity: Athens city centre is approximately 32km southwest of Nea Makri, and the Acropolis Museum and central Athens are accessible as half-day excursions. The airport is just 20km to the south, making Nea Makri one of the most airport-convenient beach bases in the Athens area.
