Über diese Aktivität
Meet in the morning at the beautiful neoclassical building known as the Zappeion, just below the National Garden, and begin your day as an Olympic athlete. Here, you’ll find out, in detail, what role the ancient Olympics played in Greek society over the millennium in which they were held.
You’ll learn how the athletes trained, what disciplines were included as the games evolved, and load up on some really old sports trivia to stump your friends. You’ll also find out about how the modern Olympics were first proposed, organized and held in Athens, more than 1,500 years after they were last staged, and you’ll do this all right in the very building that served as the first Olympic Village.
After knowledge comes exercise. There’s a historic gym nearby where you’ll get to try some classic techniques for old events such as the discus and the javelin throw, and practice newer ones like the shot put, long jump, and relay races. By the time you reach the Panathenaic Stadium, a beautiful white marble structure (the only stadium in the world made entirely of marble), you’ll be psyched up for a truly unique experience, a race in the stadium on the hallowed track where the first modern Olympians competed more than a century ago.
Tour Highlights:
• Learn the history of the Ancient Olympics and what the Games meant to people at the time
• Tour the Zappeion, the first modern purpose-built Olympic facility
• Stretch your muscles and hone your skills in a gym session in a historic 19th-century gymnasium
• Run like a champion in the Panathenaic Stadium, home of the 1896 Olympic Games

The trainer was fun, energetic and knowledgeable about both history and fitness. Had an awesome time and was able to use the stadium track for another workout afterwards!
Katrina was a phenomenal tour guide and I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for some physical activity and history at the same time!
