Why did the Persians land at Marathon instead of going to Athens?
The direct answer is that they did go to Athens.
The invasion was a punitive expedition against Eretria and Athens for their intervention in the Persian empire by supporting a revolt by Miletus, in the course of which they overdid things by burning the Persian provincial capital of Sardis.
The punitive force first laid siege to Eretria on the island of Euboia, captured it by traitors opening the gates. It then turned its attention across the strait to Marathon, landing there and attracting the Athenian army there to oppose their overland advance to Athens. They had the exiled Athenian tyrant Hippias with them, whom they intended to install as puppet Persian ruler. Hippias' supporters were going to open the gates of Athens to let the Persians in.
The stalemate persisted at Marathon. The Athenians kept to the hills where the Persian cavalry couldn't get at them. Then on the tenth day, they saw the Persian cavalry being embarked on ships, and seized the opportunity to rush down and defeat the inferior Persian infantry, hoping also to capture the fleet with the cavalry on board. The fleet got away.
The Athenians then woke up to what was happening. The cavalry was being rowed around Cape Sunion to make a landing opposite Athens and gallop up to the city where Hippias' party was going to open the gates for them. The Athenian army ran over the hills back to form up in front of the city just as the Persian cavalry was riding up. It was a near run thing. The cavalry, frustrated, reembarked and the Persians returned home.
So yes, the Persians did go to Athens, it was their plan all along, to pin the Athenian army down at Marathon while their cavalry captured the city. The Athenians would then be squeezed between the city and the Persian army. Not a bad plan, frustrated by those hardy Athenian peasant farmers who were able to run the first Marathon 26 miles over the hills carrying their equipment, having already fought a battle that morning.
Marathon runners get it easy nowadays, but don't have the incentive those blokes had.
