Code Name: HEW/LGAT
The memory of a country is sometimes linked to the reputation of its airports… even abandoned ones. From a childhood shared between Athens and Thessaly, I will always remember the attraction exerted on us by the site of Ellinikó, in other words, the historic airport of Athens, known by the international code: HEW/LGAT.By chance we were living at the time in the Heliopolis district and the rue… of Thessalie, beautiful… location I must say, under Mount Hymettus, exactly opposite the airport, the sea before our eyes.Heliopolis, not from Egypt but from the great Athenian East. Childhood dreams.

It lies in the heart of Hellas, serving as a gateway to Northern Greece for those traveling up from Athens, well past Delphi.
