Archaeological Museum of Marathon

The Archaeological Museum of Marathon is a museum in Vranas that displays findings from excavations across the Marathon region. The exhibition includes sculptures, ceramics, and other objects that provide insight into the settlement of this area over many centuries.

The museum was founded in 1975 and preserves findings from ancient burial sites and the famous Battle of Marathon, where the Greeks fought against the Persians. This collection documents important moments from the ancient history of this region.

The collection shows artifacts from different periods in the region, including pottery from the Neolithic era and portraits from an ancient mansion. These objects tell the story of the people who lived here and how they shaped their daily lives.

The museum sits about 5 kilometers from Marathonas town and is open daily except Mondays. The place has facilities for visitors with limited mobility, making a comfortable visit possible for everyone.

The museum preserves findings from four prehistoric mounds that archaeologist Spyridon Marinatos excavated, representing some of the largest burial complexes from the Bronze Age in the Aegean. These discoveries offer a rare look into the early cultures of this coastal region.
