Athens Greece Tourist Attractions

One of the important Greece tourist attractions is the Panathinaiko (Panathenaic) Stadium (also known as the Kallimarmaron, meaning the beautifully marbled) in Athens, the only major stadium in the world built fully of white marble (from Mount Penteli). It should not be confused with the Panathinaikos football pitch at Alexandras Avenue. In ancient times it was used to host the athletic portion of the Panathenaic Games in honour of the Goddess Athena.
