Not far away from the capital city of Athens is an air museum that is the largest in all of Greece.
With some spectacularly painted display schemes on a number of the aircraft and multiples of many aircraft types, it is definitely worth a look for any aviation enthusiasts.
Being on an active military air base is a bit of a catch as it is only open on certain days for a limited number of hours and you'll have to be escorted to it, but that should not put you off!

Been there twice and it's a brilliant museum. If you get the chance (not normally open to the public but only on special days) try and get a visit to the other side of the museum where there are a lot more aircraft to see including an original Junkers Ju-52 that was lifted out of the sea.

I did ask but even though I could see the Junkers JU 52 just a short distance away from me, they said not on that day! 😄

The light trainers at frame [8:50] are Cessna 172 Skyhawks. Military designator T-41 Mescalero. Wikipedia says Hellenic Air Force retired 21 T-41Ds in 2019. Unlike DMAFB's Boneyard, I bet you could get a decent Gyro in less than a 5 mile radius. 30*C is only 86*F. Come on out to Tucson's DM in the Summer. 44*C is 112*F. That's some good proper heat. And the Pima Air and Space Museum is right nearby.

Thanks for the info on the T 41's, that explains why I saw quite a few of them there! I'd have a go at venturing out in that 44 degree heat, why not? 😄

There's a good museum in Madrid as well. If i'm in Athens I'll have to check this one out.

That is on my list to visit one day 😁 Definitely check out the Dekelia museum's website before visiting as their opening hours are limited to the weekends only
