PANTHINAIKON STADIUM (visit approx 30 minutes)
Home to the first Olympic games in 1896, it was found during an excavation and refurbished with marble in the 19th century.

TEMPLE OF OLYMPIAN ZEUS (visit approx 45 minutes)
Its construction lasted over 6 centuries. At its completion there were one hundred and four pillars, each of them 17 meters high and 2 meters in diameter. Its constructors were the first to use fine Corinthian marble on the exterior of a structure. Present day, twenty-four of the one hundred and four pillars remain. The Temple of Olympian Zeus, located 500 M south east of the Acropolis, is sure to amaze visitors with its enormous features.

NEW ACROPOLIS MUSEUM (visit approx 1, ½ hour)
