What to expect
The Panathenaic Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Athens, Greece, and one of the main historic attractions of the city. It is the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble and has a long and interesting history that spans throughout the centuries. The stadium was constructed in the 4th century B.C. and was used to host events related to the celebration of the city of Athens, the 'Great Panathenaia'. During its long history, the Stadium has seen major changes, including a reconstruction in the late 19th century that gave it its final form. The stadium has hosted various events, including the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 and the Olympic Games in 2004. It is also the place from which the Olympic Flame is delivered to all the Olympic Games.
