The Panathenaic Stadium, also known as Kallimarmaro, is a historic stadium in Athens, Greece, entirely constructed from marble. Originating in the 6th century BC, it was remodelled in marble by Herodes Atticus around 144 AD. The stadium was the venue for the inaugural modern Olympic Games in 1896 and remains culturally significant, serving as the finish line for the Athens Classic Marathon. Visitors can discover its rich history, admire its architecture, and attend various events throughout the year. It is open daily from 8 AM to 7 PM and charges an admission fee of €5. The stadium is accessible by public transport, with tram stops nearby.
