The Panathenaic Stadium holds a unique place in both ancient and modern Olympic history. This remarkable structure, entirely built of marble, is the only stadium of its kind in the world. Originally an ancient Greek stadium, it was renovated for the first modern Olympics in 1896 and continues to play a role in Olympic traditions by hosting the flame handover ceremony for both Winter and Summer Games. Visitors can explore this architectural marvel daily, with opening hours from 8:00 to 19:00 (March-October) and 8:00 to 17:00 (November-February). An admission fee applies, allowing guests to walk in the footsteps of ancient and modern athletes alike.
