Nah, I'm going to Hong Kong myself. My grandparents live in Athens, and have a flat near Marathon (in Nea Makri). I'm interested in all the history of the area, so I have been to the museum in Marathon. You will also see the two burial mounds of the Greek soldiers in Marathon. My Grandfather knows his history very well, so he was able to explain exactly what happened there in depth, so you'll probably get an even better idea about how the battle proceded. I have been to southern Turkey aswell (near Antalya), there are many Roman ruins there. Amazing places and landscape alround. Don't forget your swimming gear, it'll be very warm and I can assure you the sea looks very appealing. Have fun!
