    Running towards History

    Barry_M, May 2026
    Nice day out with Ilias, our guide. Plenty of history and interesting sites, but perhaps without the outstanding highlights available at so many other destinations around Athens. Still worth doing if Marathon (the battle and the run) is your particular interest. Includes the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens as the first item. Ilias was friendly and flexible to meet our wishes regarding timings.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re glad you enjoyed your day with Ilias and appreciated the rich history of the Marathon area. It’s true that the experience offers a different kind of depth compared to some of the more iconic highlights around Athens, and we’re happy to hear it still felt worthwhile—especially for those with a special interest in the story of Marathon. We’re also pleased that your visit to the Panathenaic Stadium made for a strong start to the day. Ilias will be delighted to know his friendliness and flexibility helped tailor the experience to your preferences. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again for another exploration—perhaps next time focusing on some of Athens’ standout landmarks! Warm regards Transfer To Athens
