ride sharing in Greece doesn't work the same as the USA, Canada, or AUS.
That said, taxibeat is probably the best

I use taxi beat as well. Uber and Lyft also work in Athens.

This is the thing to do, and thats what taxibeat helps with... most Greeks take taxis, not uber, or lyft.
This is a great question!!
This is correct Uber and Lyft are not really used by Greeks in Greece, they support local taxis.
Here is some information from Uber that might be helpful as well:

I would definitely just stick with taxis in Greece and forget about ride share. It's not really in the Greek Culture to use ride share.

I have never used ride share in Greece, and I am not sure that people really do that. I tend to use taxis, public transport, my legs, or rent a car.
According to this tripadvisor thread, there is an app that Greeks use that can help you secure a taxi called Taxibeat. I have never used it. Has anyone heard of it?

Is Marathon a good day trip from Athens?

I've been planning an itinerary for my upcoming trip to Athens, and I've always been fascinated by the historical significance of Marathon. Considering its role in ancient history and the famous battle that took place there, it seems like a place that might be worth a visit.
However, I'm on the fence about dedicating a whole day trip to Marathon. From what I understand, it isn’t too far from Athens, but I'm trying to weigh up whether the experience is worthy compared to spending that time exploring more within the city itself.
Has anyone made the day trip to Marathon from Athens? Was it an enriching experience, and what are the can't-miss sights? Is the archeological site/museum there engaging enough for a history buff? Also, how about the logistics – is it easy to get to by public transport, or would you suggest renting a car or going with a tour?
I am just trying to decide if it's worth it, or if I should plan to stay overnight. Thanks!
