Schinias Marathon National Park, National park in Marathon, Greece
The protected area extends over sandy beaches, wetlands, and dense pine forests along the Attica Region coastline, creating distinct natural zones.
The national park received its official designation in 2000, marking a significant step in preserving Greece's natural heritage and ecological diversity.
The park contains the Olympic Rowing Center from Athens 2004 Games, which continues to serve athletes while respecting the surrounding natural environment.
Visitors can access the park throughout the year without entry fees and engage in activities such as hiking, swimming, and bird observation.
The wetlands within the park provide essential breeding grounds for over 150 bird species, including 30 protected under European Union directives.
