Hellenikon Airport was the main international airport serving Athens, Greece, from its opening in 1938 until it closed in 2001. Located just 8 kilometers from the city center, it played a crucial role in the development of air travel in the region and hosted numerous international flights. After its closure, the site underwent significant changes and redevelopment. Plans for the area include the construction of a large urban park and residential developments, transforming the former airport into a vibrant space for the community while preserving its historical significance.
