One of our favorite tours, this one is dedicated to those who fell in the name of freedom.

Heading out from Athens to the sacred plain of Marathon driving through Attica Highway and Marathon Avenue. This is the course of the original Marathon Race, as you will see by the signs that count each kilometer.
