Two years ago yesterday, I landed in Athens early in the morning on a flight from Kyiv. I checked into an Airbnb, dropped off my stuff, and went on a run to the nearby Panatheniac Stadium. This was the site of the original Olympic Stadium and a venue for the first modern Olympics in 1896. When I arrived at the stadium I was the first one there. The guards let me in and I had the whole place to myself for the first thirty minutes before other early morning runners arrived. I completed a mile loop around the track and then explored the grounds and the stadium museum.
I'm a little surprised that I haven't covered this before on the blog. Looking back, I did post a photo from the stopover, and I have shared more photos on Instagram from that 24 hour stay. This is a reminder that I should write more about unique experiences like my time in Athens, and I'll need to revisit this during the holiday break.
