Kallimarmaro

Your Marathon tour starts by visiting the 1st modern Olympic stadium, where the Marathon run ends. The Marathon run, 40 km, is named after the town and the length of the course is the distance from Marathon to Athens. The distance was allegedly run by Pheidippides to bring news of the Athenian victory over invading Persians in the Battle of Marathon, 490 BCE. The Stadium is called Panathenaic Stadium or just Kallimarmaro (which means made of fine marble) and is at walking distance from the temple of Olympian Zeus, the Arch of Hadrian and the Acropolis. The Stadium in 1886 was renovated to host the first Modern Olympic Games that were held in Athens.

The same type of marble was used to build the Parthenon and the other temples on the Acropolis hill.The dam was constructed in 1929 and it was used mainly as the primary water supply for Athens from 1931 until 1959.There is a replica of the Athenian Treasury temple at Delphi constructed at the base of the dam illustrating the connection between modern and ancient Athens.
