Among all the stadiums in the city of Athens, there is one that is touted as the pride of the city and this is the Stadium of Peace and Friendship. This stadium may not have the same historical value as the other stadiums in the city but what it has reaped in international awards make up for its seeming lack of historical significance. As such, this stadium can only be rightfully termed as among the greatest attractions in Athens.
Having been built in 1984, the Stadium of Peace and Friendship has garnered a number of international accolades for its excellent facilities for sports. Ranked as among the best European indoor sports complex, the stadium is also known as an important site that holds international tournaments for quite a number of sporting events. These include volleyball, athletics, wrestling, basketball, handball, fencing, table tennis and rhythmic gymnastics. As one of the best attractions in Athens, this state-of-the-art complex is not only owned but also managed by the Greece's Ministry of Culture and Deputy Ministry for Sports.
