Panathenaic Stadium

The Panathenaic Stadium dates back to the 4th century B.C. and was the site of the first modern Olympic games in 1896 and remains the starting point of the Olympic flame torch relay. Made entirely of white marble, it's an impressive sight that's earned it the nickname Kallimarmaro or "beautiful marble". There are even a couple of hours in the morning designated for morning jogs when you run in the footsteps of former Olympians.

Archaeological Museum of Marathon

The Marathon’s Archeological site, in the eastern part of Attica prefecture, is worldwide famous for the same name battle of Marathon in 490 BC, were Athenians and their allies Plataeans (around 11.000) have been clashed with the Persians (more than 125.000) during their expedition and their invasion effort to Greece. Actually, Athenians managed to repel the Persians invasion and destroy their army and fleet (Salamina’s battleship) and to maintain alive their culture, philosophy, art, theater and innovative politics, as a lighting house for democracy and today’s western civilization. The relevant tomb is the cemetery for 200 hundreds of Athenians who fell in the battle of Marathon, supporting their values and principles. In the north of the tomb, there is a marble trophy, erected by the Athenians to commemorate their win and honoring their fighters who felt in the battle. A lot of historical artifacts are exposed in the nearby archeological museum of Marathon.
