Areopagus (Mars Hill) Athens also a possible location for filming if y'all want to help me look for evidence
This site has a nice pic and description! Might make a pretty PITSTOP!

Sunset at Areopagus Hill

Walking along the path from the Acropolis Museum leading toward Monastiraki you’ll see the Areopagus Hill, a rocky outcrop which has some wooden steps to allow you to climb to the top. From here you can get a great view of the Acropolis as well as over the whole city and it’s a favourite place to come at sunset as the city turns golden below you.

There are so many countries being visited this season that haven't been visited in a while. (Panama, Brazil, Tanzania, and now Greece!) I'm hoping for more places, and hopefully, a visit to Australia!!!

That would be the icing on the cake, Australia hasn't been visited in 11 seasons now. The continent as a whole since TAR22

I just hope we don't get the usual overvisited countries in Asia :( Assuming this is Leg 8, they're probably headed there after this one.

Hopefully we will have Australia a lot that trying to attempt a 6-continent race visit as we don't want a 5-continent race again just like TAR26 and TAR27.

I do proper understand we certainly rule out China, India, Indonesia, Japan and Malaysia. The certain Asian countries that are need to visit: Cambodia and South Korea, assuming for a 2 legs, just like TAR7 and TAR22.

If they're in Greece now, I think the only possible flight to Australia is to get to Oman. That way, one Asian country and one Australia... but since we have 3 more legs left, there's no other way to get to Oceania. If Oman is next, chances are they'll be in Burma, Bangladesh, South Korea , Cambodia or even Vietnam!

Chances for Australia or NZ seems so slim right now
I think we will get Cambodia / Vietnam / South Korea next
Maybe Kazahsthan?

Pretty sure it is, it's where they land astronauts returning from the space station. It got one visit in Season 13.

Imo, a 6-continent race is great, but a 5-continent one will do. It's better than a 3- or 4-continent race.

Also, we can't just rule out the countries you've mentioned. Most of us don't want them, but there's still a chance for them to be visited, which some of us hope they don't visit those places.

I have always dreamed that Oceania would be visited this season because it has been a long time and it's one of my favorite continents but it looks like a visit to Australia, New Zealand and any Pacific-island nation is dim at this time but we'll see. However, I wouldn't mind if they don't visit Oceania this season, I'd rather save the visit for a regular season. My spec is that it will be similar to the later legs of TAR 25: Europe then Asia 1 leg in 1 country and 2 legs in 1 country. We can't avoid them visiting those countries that are overvisited but who knows. Let's be optimistic, we've had many surprises in this season's route, I think there's more.

TAR asked for permission to film in archaelogical sites in Athens from 21 to 24 of June. Their local representative was a company called Boo productions.
So that means that the teams raced in Athens definitely in the 24th and today they should be departing from Athens.

I think teams may be released soon so teams can get an evening flight to arrive in Asia tomorrow. (If they're going to Asia)

I guess it was the right time to return. From the sounds of it, Greece's economy has finally stabilized somewhat since last year (that's probably what they were waiting for). Hopefully now Brexit doesn't put them back in the hole :(

If they went there, they should have been sighted by now. There are loads of tourists there.

Milan's airports have Baby Pit Stops too, which would make more sense on this season's itinerary.

Compare roof and lighting and signage at Milan Malpensa.

Same. Searched for "Acropolis" and "Parthenon" several times throughout the day.

Could it be the team was last and Phil had to comeback and film their checking in segment? :funny: or Phil waited for the team for so long that they had to bring him back to shoot the actual thing :funny:
