Fodor's Expert Review Marathon Beach Resort

A retro-Florida vibe permeates this sprawling, beautifully maintained mini-resort where simple but stylish rooms, decked in dazzling whites with bright accent colors, surround an enormous garden and pool terrace, all just steps from the beach. Outside is the pedestrian seafront promenade of Nea Makri, a once-fashionable but still pleasant getaway for Athenians, lined with taverna terraces and parklands. Among the amenities are several eateries and bars, including several choices for an inexpensive, casual meal or snack.
