This victory is considered one of the turning points in history paving the way for the Greek classical civilization.

-10’ to the Marathon run start and marathon run museum. The legend states that Athenian soldier Pheidippides witnessed a Persian vessel changing its course towards Athens as the battle was near a victorious end for the Greek army. He interpreted this as an attempt by the defeated Persians to rush into the Greek capital and claim a false victor hence claiming their authority over Greek land. It is said that he ran the entire distance to Athens without stopping, discarding his weapons and even clothes to lose as much weight as possible, and burst into the assembly, exclaiming νενικήκαμεν (nenikēkamen, "we have won!"), before collapsing and dying. (From Wikipedia). The distance of the modern Marathon is 40klm starting at the original site in Marathon and ending in the city of Athens.
-10’ to the Sanctuary of Nemesis and fortified settlement of Rhamnous. Nemesis was the avenging goddess to those that succumbed to hubris (Greek: ύβρις) showing arrogance against the gods. The statue of Nemesis as well as other relics from the settlement can be seen in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens.
- 10’ to the Marathon lake and dam, an artificial lake operating as the main water reservoir for Athens in the past and its dam, a great mechanic construction of the starts of 20th century.The scenery is beautiful and worth the visit.
