Marathon Beach Holiday

Fresh sea air and beautiful coastal views are just the start of things you can look forward to during your Marathon holiday. If you're eager to save on your trip to Marathon, here's a tip — opt for one of our Marathon packages. Lock in one near Marathon Beach, just 4 miles from the city centre and a popular place to base yourself. Alternatively, pick a package that puts you closer to Schinias Beach, another impressive stretch of coast. Either way, you'll be left with extra dollars in your holiday budget to play with.
