What it is
Rhamnous was a deme of Attica on a peninsula above the strait separating it from Euboea, about 15 km north of Marathon. It had a sanctuary dedicated to Nemesis, the goddess who punishes arrogance, and to Themis, the goddess of justice; the foundations and platform of its two temples remain. From there, an ancient path lined with funerary monuments runs down to the fortress beside the sea, with its walls and a gate.
Entry and hours

Getting there
