Walking Tour - National Garden, Zappeion & Panathinaiko Stadium

Itinerary

The National Garden (formerly The Royal Garden) is a public park of 15.5 hectares (38 acres) in the center of Athens. It is located directly behind the Greek Parliament building (The Old Palace). ZAPPEION MEGARON was donated by Evangelos Zappas and designed by the Danish architect Theophil Freiherr von Hansen. Zappas had started the Zappian Olympic Games, a precursor to the modern Olympic Games. The Zappeion Megaron was the Olympic village during the summer Olympic Games in 1896. PANATHINAIKO STADIO (The Panathenaic Stadium) also known as the ''Kallimarmaro'' (meaning the "beautifully marbled") is a multi-purpose stadium used for several events and athletics in Athens, since the ancient years. Also, it was the stadium where the first modern Olympic Games took place in 1986. Panathinaiko Stadio is the only major stadium in the world built entirely of white marble from mount Penteli (Acropolis is, also, built of the same material).
