Just days before running my 6th marathon, I happened to be in Athens and decided to go to Marathon on a pilgrimage. When I arrived at the burial mound (Soros), I found out it was already closed. Having come this far, and determined about my mission, I looked around, and climbed the fence. Inside, the few things to see are the burial mound itself (in which the remains of the 192 fallen soldiers are buried), and the grave stela of the warrior Aristion (who died before the battle of Marathon). Climbing the mound, you can see the plain where the battle of Marathon was fought, surrounded by bare hills.
