The Panathenaic Stadium, known as Kallimarmaro, is a historic stadium in Athens, Greece, built entirely of marble. It dates back to the 6th century BC and was reconstructed in marble by Herodes Atticus around 144 AD. The stadium hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 and continues to hold cultural significance, including the Athens Classic Marathon finish line. Visitors can explore its rich history, marvel at its architecture, and enjoy events held throughout the year. The stadium is open daily from 8 AM to 7 PM, with an admission fee of €5. It is accessible via public transportation, with nearby tram stops.
