Reviewed By konegr - Rafina, Greece

One of the best places in Rafina. A traditional small church above the port of Rafina. An excellent and wonderful view of the entire sea around.

Amphiaraion Archaeological Site

Reviewed By 90vladb - Sydney, Australia

The whole site is in the middle of a pine forest, the smells are wonderful and it is peaceful and relaxing. There were no other tourists. The area is largely shaded, but sun hat and good shoes are recommended. There are public toilets and a vending machine with drinks, but as a precaution take your own water. This site was a sanctuary of the Amphiareos, a hero known for his ability to predict future and heal based on the content of dreams. It was built in 5th century BC and was in constant use well into Roman times. It was built on the sides of a winter stream, with extensive earthworks to create flat area for the temple, the stoa and the theatre. One can visit areas on both sides of the gully. The huge retaining wall was reinforced in modern times, because the original lost some of its structural integrity after 2500 years. Most artefacts found on site are in various museums around the world, some in Greece. A very interesting and significant structure is the klepsydra, outflow type water clock (literal translation – water thief), one of the best preserved in the world. You can inspect it, walk down the steps to the water outlet still plugged in with a bronze plug (which looks very old, but maybe it is a recent copy). Because the site was in use for such a long time the statues of Greeks were eventually replaced by the statues of Romans and the original inscriptions erased and replaced to match the statues. Brutus, one of the assassins of Julius Caesar, had his statue there.

Megalo Kavouri

Reviewed By fotiss257 - Paleo Faliro, Greece

I like megalo kavouri (big crab) mostly because is still free with good blue waters. The surrounding environment reminds a lot island with many pine trees and sand hills!

Marathon Lake

Reviewed By niksk001

Marathon Lake is absolutely beautiful, and a "classic" dam make s it more attractive. It is not necessarily a tourist attraction, but a very nice place to stop and relax before heading out to your next destination.
