Panathenaic Stadium
Panathenaic Stadium
The ancient Panathenaic Stadium, also known as Kallimarmaro, has a rich history. It’s the ancient stadium of Athens, first built in 330 BC (rebuilt in 144 AD), and was the main venue of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. It is the only stadium built entirely of white marble.

National Garden
National Garden
The National Garden, once called the Royal Garden, covers a vast area of about 38 acres and is the perfect place for a peaceful walk. Although it’s located in the most central spot of the city, it remains quiet and relaxing. The Garden boasts hundreds of different species of plants, many ancient ruins and the Zappeion Hall, a large palatial building of the 19th century. Beautiful walk with plenty to see!

Mount Lycabettus
Cable Car
We board the cable car, also known as the funicular, at the bottom of Lycabettus Hill. The three-minute ride to the top of the hill is quite interesting and enjoyable.
Lycabettus Hill
The views at the top of the hill, the highest point in Athens, are breathtaking; Athens, the surrounding areas, the sea. It’s hard to describe. You have to see it. We will visit the Chapel of St. George, a beautiful whitewashed church.
