Pangrati or Pagrati (Greek: Παγκράτι) is a neighborhood in Central Athens, Greece, having an estimated population of 35,173 residents. Named after the ancient sanctuary of Hercules Pancrates ("All Powerful"), its frontage runs from Vasilissis Sofias Avenue along to Vasileos Konstantinou Avenue and Vassileos Alexandrou Avenue, just a few minutes walk from the National Gardens. One of the most important landmarks of Pangrati is the Panathinaiko Stadium that hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. The First Cemetery of Athens, the official cemetery for the City of Athens, lies within the neighborhood's limits. Pangrati includes the Ilissos river valley and extends to the south as far as the Panathinaic Stadium and the First Cemetery of Athens. Its eastern boundary was once defined by the Hymettus Mountain slopes but with the extension of the city in interwar period the modern eastern boundary is Nikiforidi Str. and Iliados Str., including Deliolani Square. To the north and northeast, the area fades into Hilton and National Gallery area, but it is considered that the area north of Vassileos Alexandrou Ave. as far north to Hilton Athens hotel and northeast as Andreas Syngros Hospital is part of Pangrati. Pangrati is bordered by the Kolonaki (Κολωνάκι) neighborhood to the west, the Ilisia (Ιλίσια) neighborhood and the Kaisariani (Καισαριανή) municipality to the north, the Vyronas (Βύρωνας) and Dafni-Ymittos (Δάφνη-Υμηττός) municipalities to the east, and the Neos Kosmos (Νέος Κόσμος) neighborhood to the south. It is not to be confused as a separate suburb, as it is part of the City of Athens proper. However, it is frequently mistaken as such, possibly because of it bordering the actual suburbs of Vyronas and Kaisariani. In the second decade of the 21st century, Pangrati has experienced a renaissance as a destination for hipsters, with concomitant gentrification, house price increases, and a decrease in housing affordability.

The Philatelic and Postal Museum of Greece is a museum dedicated to the philately and postal history of Greece located in Athens, at the junction of Stadiou Square and Fokianou Street, next to the Panathenaic Stadium (Kallimarmaro). The establishment and operation of the Philatelic and Postal Museum was a long-standing request of the Hellenic Post Office Service and especially of the philatelic community. The project finally received state support in 1966. In 1970, the year of the establishment of the Hellenic Post Organization, a great effort began for the collection and classification of museum material along with the search for the appropriate location to house the museum. The solution was finally given in 1977 by Nia and Andrea Stratos who donated the building. Thus, the Philatelic and Postal Museum started its operation on October 30, 1978, as a branch of the Hellenic Post (ELTA). With the intention of the government for the privatization of ELTA, it was initially decided to include the Museum in the Ministry of Development and Transport. Today, the Museum lies under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Digital Governance. The responsibilities of the Philatelic and Postal Museum are the recording, study, research, documentation, maintenance, acquisition, publication, promotion, and storage of the Hellenic Philatelic and Postal treasures. In the Museum the visitor can see objects used by the united Postal, Telegraph, Telephone Service (mailboxes, postmen bags, horns and uniforms, envelope sealing machines, safes, cancellation devices, bicycles and motorcycles, dispatch materials), the display of the first-ever Hellenic stamps dating since 1861, the metal plates used for their printing, stamp sheets, stamp proofs, detailed and rough layouts, first day covers, commemorative cachets and painting layouts of famous artists who designed stamps.

The Marika Kotopouli Museum is a modern art museum in Zografou, Athens, Greece. The building housing the museum was built by the famous Greek theater actress Marika Kotopouli (1887–1954) as her holiday home in 1926. During the Second World War, the house was requisitioned by the Germans and after the war it housed the local Police Station. The Zographou Municipality with support of the Association of Greek Actors restored the building with its distinctive architecture and beautiful interiors. In 1990, it opened to the public as a museum of modern art. It hosts various interim art exhibitions as well as the permanent collection of Konstantinos Ioannides.

"beautiful marble") is a multi-purpose stadium in Athens, Greece. One of the main historic attractions of Athens, it is the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble.A stadium was built on the site of a simple racecourse by the Athenian statesman Lykourgos (Lycurgus) c. 330 BC, primarily for the Panathenaic Games. It was rebuilt in marble by Herodes Atticus, an Athenian Roman senator, by 144 AD and had a capacity of 50,000 seats. After the rise of Christianity in the 4th century it was largely abandoned. The stadium was excavated in 1869 and hosted the Zappas Olympics in 1870 and 1875. After being refurbished, it hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the first modern Olympics in 1896 and was the venue for 4 of the 9 contested sports. It was used for various purposes in the 20th century and was once again used as an Olympic venue in 2004. It is the finishing point for the annual Athens Classic Marathon. It is also the last venue in Greece from where the Olympic flame handover ceremony to the host nation takes place.
