The Peace and Friendship Stadium. It hosted the Volleyball tournament during the 2004 Summer Olympics. It also hosts basketball tournaments. |
Our first look at the Acropolis from the bus! |
Our tour guide was super cute. |

Our first stop was the Panathenaic Stadium. |
The stadium hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. |
It is built from the remains of an ancient stadium and is built entirely of white marble. It is one of the oldest in the world. |
It was used during the 2004 Summer Olympics as the Archery venue. |
