Hellenic Air Force Museum

The Hellenic Air Force Museum is located in Dekelia, about nine miles north of downtown Athens. The site occupies a former airfield that once served as Athens' first airport and, for many years, as the government airport. The museum was established in 1992, after the air force decided in 1986 to move its collection out of the central War Museum and into a building of its own. Here you can admire a diverse collection of historic aircraft, including a Supermarine Spitfire, a Douglas Dakota, and a rare Curtiss SB2C. One special attraction is the display of wrecks recovered from the seabed, such as a Bristol Blenheim and Junkers aircraft, which are shown either after extensive restoration or as wrecks.
