Your Local in Greece,

— Efi

If you’re into running (or just want to be!), Greece has some incredible marathons that will take your breath away—literally and figuratively. Imagine racing through ancient cities, along stunning coastlines, or up challenging hills in the islands.

Whether it’s the legendary Athens Marathon or a local event on a picturesque island, there’s something here for every runner.

Check out this full list of marathons happening across Greece. And if you want the inside scoop on some of these events, take a look at our blog post here. It’s packed with all the details you need to get started. 🏅

So, If you’re looking for a marathon that’s truly legendary, the Athens Authentic Marathon is the one to beat. This November!

Running the same route as the first-ever marathon in history, this event is a bucket-list experience for runners around the world. Starting in the town of Marathon and finishing at the iconic Panathenaic Stadium in Athens, you’ll be following in the footsteps of ancient history with every step.

It’s not just a race—it’s a journey through time, culture, and breathtaking scenery. Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or a first-timer, the energy and excitement of this event are something you’ll never forget!

🌆 Thessaloniki: A City You’ll Fall in Love With

Thessaloniki

Have you ever visited Thessaloniki? If not, you’re in for a treat. It’s the kind of city that wraps you up in its warmth, from the vibrant street life to the delicious food (seriously, you have to try the local pastries!).

If you’re a fan of unique experiences, why not time your visit with the Thessaloniki Night Half Marathon?

-Come on Efi, I am not into running! …you might say!

-My friend, running through the city at night with everything lit up is just… magical. ✨

Ok, ok… we can walk then! Life is waiting for us out there.

Thessaloniki is second after Istanbul to Byzantine treasures! Did you know that?

Whether you’re exploring its ancient history or enjoying a laid-back coffee by the sea, I bet you’ll leave with memories that last a lifetime.

📸 Athens and Instagram: Capture the Beauty

Athens is a city that never stops surprising me. From its ancient ruins to its buzzing modern life, there’s always something new to discover. If you want to see Athens from a fresh perspective, check out this award-winning short film: City of Athens - A Portrait of a Changing Metropolis. It’s a beautiful snapshot of a city that’s constantly evolving, yet always rooted in its incredible history.

And if you’re like me and love scrolling through Instagram for travel inspiration, there are some amazing accounts that show off Greece’s beauty—from Athens to the islands. Want some recommendations? Just ask! 😊
