Pangrati
Residential, near the Panathenaic Stadium
A lived-in residential neighbourhood east of the Panathenaic Stadium — tree-lined squares, neighbourhood tavernas, independent wine bars. Athens as Athenians experience it daily.

Spondi
Athens' most acclaimed fine-dining restaurant — two Michelin stars, a French-influenced tasting menu using premium Greek ingredients, and a garden courtyard in a Pangrati neoclassical villa. Reserve a month ahead.
Taverna Oikonomou
A family taverna since 1930 — barrel wine, grilled meats, and the kind of unchanged menu that takes 90 years to perfect. One of Athens' last working-class classics.
Panathenaic Stadium Visit
The only stadium in the world built entirely of marble — host of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 and still used for the Olympic torch handover ceremony. Run a lap on the ancient track.
Panathenaic Stadium (Kallimarmaro)
Built in 329 BC, rebuilt in Pentelic marble for the 1896 Olympics — the only stadium in the world made entirely of white marble. Stand at the starting line of the first modern Olympic marathon and consider the ambition of that project.
