A archaeological covering the local area, but surprisingly not much about the Battle of Marathon. This is covered at the nearby site (by car) Tumulus of the Athenians at Marathon. Still a visit, if you're interested in history. No toilets though A very with little to do with the actual battle of Marathon. Admission here also grants admission to the Tumulus of the Athenians if you are visiting there, too. The bathroom was unavailable when we visited re lack of staff. Experience is not comparable with other most famous ones in Athens, but the little is not bad. Also the tombs, just behind the are not bad. Entrance fee is 5 EUR. Parking available What a gem of a museum. We visited on the weekend and it was not very busy , of course it was winter months. Beautiful artifacts a visit. Well preserved temple and grounds, well a visit, especially out of season when it's not too busy. the whole took about an hour. but plenty to see. A bit out of the way for many but quite a wonderful little historical site. a if you're out at Schinias Beach, recommend you do a tour that takes you out here. Amazing and a must visit! The Egyptian related items are amazing. There is a necropolis that is also a must see. All of this is in addition to the classical Greek items you will see. However, the real reason to is to see the Tumulus of the Plataeans which is located as part of the archaeological museum. It was excavated in 1970 and 11 bodies were indeed found at this site. Please take the time to here. Very interesting close to Athens, obviously the must see in Marathon. Affordable entry price (5€ for adults, free for children). Definitely recommended ! Even though it is a it is very unique. The excibits are seeing especially the tomb of plataies. In general the whole place is very relaxing and except your you can also enjoy a nice Walk through the valley filled in camomile and poppies(at least now, in spring). The fees are also value for money because with 6€ you get all the entrances not only one cite. It is a and has a limited number of exhibits. Not a long drive, unless you are an archaeology Ticket costs 5 euros. Great artifacts beginning from Neolithic period until 5th-4th century BC. However the highlight of the was the tumulus of Plateons which if you ask the ticket stall, they will send someone with you to unlock it so that you can go inside. I would say an absolute must visit. Tickets are very cheap and they offer to the Tumulus of Athenians as well around 2km south of the museum. This is a bit hidden but it is a visit. There is a lot more to the area of ancient marathon than the famous battle. The staff were very cordial. Wonderful museum, with a but magnificent collection of various artefacts from the extraordinary surrounding region but definitely a while in Nea Makri. Amazing artifacts from all around the area. We also poked around outside where they store larger pieces. Loved Marathon! Learned a lot about its history and culture. Very historical museums, although it is a bit small. Do not miss the tumlos of the Plataeans, which is very near by the museum!
