Panathenaic Stadium (Kallimarmaro) Concerts

Stunning stadium, with so much history. We loved walking round, climbing the steps and checking out the view from various points, stepping on the running track and posing on the winning podium. Some great views of the Acropolis from one side too.

What a place to visit. A must do if you are in Athens. So much history and also a free guided tour you can download on iPhone that is available in multiple languages. Just need to scan the QR code at the guided tour part after you go in. There are then numbers around the stadium indicating which part you need to listen to- 12 I believe in total. Very small cue to get in, about 5 minute wait. Imagine in the summer this place gets busy. Good price for what it was and spent a few hours exploring and taking lots of photos!

This was one of my most memorable visits in Athens! The stadium, everything made from marble and the small museum side was very beautiful! If visiting during high season and on the weekend, then I recommend buying tickets in advance.

Birthplace of the Olympic Games. Well worth a visit and one of few older attractions in Athens. Great views if you can walk to the top of the arena. Great place for all ages to visit. On the opposite side of the road is a big park that it is worth visiting. The stadium is a fair bit away from other attractions so public transport might be necessary.

Really enjoyed visiting this attraction great mix of the old feel but having been reconstructed you can actually walk around on and in the stadium which gives a real sense of the original building. While we visited local schools were playing sports which most be a great inspiration for the young children.
