Aviation Museums › Air Force & Military Aviation
Located on Dekelia Air Base near Acharnes, north of Athens, and dedicated specifically to Greek aviation/air force history (distinct from the general War Museum of Athens). It restores and displays historic aircraft, most sourced from the Hellenic Air Force itself and supplemented by exchanges with other European aviation museums. Open to the public on weekends, with school groups able to visit on other days by prior arrangement. Sources give slightly different founding dates (1986 per body text vs. 1992 for the move to its current Dekelia site) — both are reported here honestly rather than picking one.
Notable Exhibits
- Bristol Blenheim, Junkers Ju 52/3m, and Junkers Ju 87 — Recovered from underwater by the HAF Underwater Operations Team (KOSYTHE).
- Supermarine Spitfire Mk IXc — WWII-era fighter in the collection.
- Lockheed F-104G Starfighter — Cold War-era jet fighter.
- Douglas C-47B Dakota — Classic transport aircraft.
Several of the museum's rarest aircraft (including a Ju 87 and Ju 52) were salvaged from the sea by Greek navy divers.
The museum has exchanged aircraft with other European aviation museums to fill gaps in its collection.
