The Athens Olympic Stadium would otherwise be known as Olympic Stadium Spiros Louis. It was named after Spiros Louis, the 1896 Olympic marathon race winner. On a hot summer day, we visited the stadium. After we've covered the historical places, one has not much left to explore. It was my second time at the Olympic stadium. As one can see, the stadium was very much unutilised and empty (perhaps the athletics were on a summer holiday), but clean overall.
We met up with our Greek friend, Maria for a short tour before heading to the malls.

The OAKA Plaza and Arch
According to our friend Maria, this "billboard" look alike structure is unique in a way that it produces music like wind chimes when the wind blows
Athens Olympic Velodrome
In summer 2009, when I first stepped foot in the Olympic stadium, I was very awed by the structures and design of the Olympic stadium. In fact, it was my first visit to an Olympic stadium (my second visit to an Olympic stadium was the Munich Olympic Stadium in winter 2009). Then as this was my second time visiting the same stadium, I wasn't that touristy anymore heheh. We spent about 20-30 minutes at the stadium, walked around, took some pictures and proceeded to the mall for some shopping and food.
These were the kind of pictures we took during my first trip to the stadium:
