A beach hotel with a harbour in front
Marathon Beach Resort is on the shore at Nea Makri, the coastal village just south of the Marathon plain. It was a well-known summer hotel in the seventies, eighties and nineties, and it has recently been renovated. It is three wings of white three-storey buildings around a garden with palm trees and bougainvillea, with the pool in the middle. In front you have the sandy beach and, next door, the Nea Makri marina, with its promenade of cafés and tavernas.
For the Marathon excursion it is a comfortable base: the Athenians' tumulus, the Vrana museum and Schinias beach are less than a quarter of an hour by car. According to the hotel, Athens airport is 22 km away, about 25 minutes, and the port of Rafina, from where boats leave for the Cyclades and Euboea, 8 km. Central Athens is about 40 km away.
