Showing Visitors Around Athens with Kids, 4 of 22: Panathenaic Stadium



The Panathenaic Stadium, known locally as Kallimarmaro (beautiful marble), is the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble. It hosted the first modern Olympics in 1896 and is still the finish line of the Athens Marathon.
Kids can run onto the track, climb the marble stands, pose on the podium, walk the vaulted passage, and see Olympic torches and posters from 1896 to today in the museum.
