Ancient stadium entirely covered with marble having hosted the first Olympic Games of the modern era.

Behind the National Garden, at the entrance to the Pangrati district, the Kallimarmaro or "marble stadium" is also called the Panathinaiko stadium. In 1896, it hosted the first modern Olympic Games and the arrival of marathon running during the 2004 Games. It was built on the site of an ancient stadium and entirely covered with marble. It is also the end of the annual marathon, which follows the historic route of the race between Marathon and Athens.

Quel grandeur !
Il est très agréable de balader aux alentours de ce stade, on est dans un coin de verdure en plein centre ville. Le fait qu'il soit entièrement en marbre le rend encore plus impressionnant et majestueux. A voir si vous passez dans le coin.

Impressionnant quand on sait qu'il est entièrement recouvert de marbre, à voir mais vite fait sans rentrer dedans sauf si vous êtes vraiment passionné par les jeux Olympiques

Visite tout a fait impressionnante qui permet de diversifier un peu les sites, celui-ci étant particulièrement bien conservé. A l’int On peut y voir les affiches vintage des jeux de l’air moderne ainsi que les torches olympiques.

Impressionnant et vraiment très beau, ce stade vaut le petit détour du centre ville. 85100 tonnes de marbres selon les indications, soit une construction grandiose. A voir absolument !

Ce stade a été construit à l'emplacement du stade antique. Ce stade olympique est construit entièrement en marbre blanc. Il est situé dans le centre d’Athènes , c'est un endroit remarquable.
