Visit to National Archaeological Museum (Wednesday, 29 May 2024)
A trip to Athens should be considered incomplete unless it includes a tour of its numerous museums. However, if you only have time for a single visit, then the National Archaeological Museum is a strong candidate. Established in 1829, the museum moved to its current building sixty years later (1889), situated in the heart of the city. Its neo-classical style of architecture wasn’t chosen at random, as the museum has the richest collection of Greek Antiquity artifacts in the world. Its collection also includes relics from prehistoric times as well as several pieces of Egyptian art. It is no coincidence that a library of archaeology is within the premises of the museum, with thousands of volumes and a history of more than a hundred years.
There will be a guided tour by one of the Museum’s directors.

Symbolic Marathon (Wednesday, 29 May 2024)
Where Science Meets Legacy: Uniting History and Athletic Excellence at the Panathenaic Stadium
Seize the opportunity to feel the Ancient Olympic Spirit!
ISBI 2024, invites you to join a symbolic marathon at the unique archaeological monument of Panathenaic Stadium which served for the revival of the Olympic Games.
The stadium, originally built in the 4th century BCE and reconstructed for the modern Olympics in 1896, serves as a symbolic link between ancient and contemporary athletic traditions. Its hallowed grounds echo with the feats of ancient Greek athletes and the ideals of fair competition, embodying the spirit of the Olympic movement.
Hosting a symbolic athletic event at this historic venue not only pays homage to the origins of the Games but also fosters a sense of continuity and unity across centuries, emphasizing the enduring power of sports to inspire, unite, and celebrate human achievement.
The Panathenaic Stadium stands as a living testament to the timeless values of athleticism and sportsmanship, making any event held within its storied walls a poignant and culturally resonant experience.
The ISBI 2024 Symbolic Marathon will include a run of 0-10 laps. The primary goal for many participants in a marathon is not necessarily to secure victory, bur rather to complete the race and achieve a personal accomplishment. However, if you don’t want to run which is not mandatory at all, or if you don’t even want to walk, you will have an unforgettable experience and a rare opportunity to revive your historical memory immersed in the white Attic marble of a monument of global significance heritage.
