The site of the ancient Battle of Marathon and the birthplace of the 'Marathon Run', archaeological places (Vravrona, Marathon, the Acropolis etc.) and museums are within a few minutes to one hour drive. The port of Rafina (less than 20 minute drive) is the access point to several islands of the Aegean (Myconos, Andros, Tinos).A Ferry Boat to the island of Evia which is a 10 minute drive from Shinias, offers a choice of destinations for daily cruises and excursions.
