Athens War Museum

Housed in one of the more unusual looking buildings in Athens, The Athens War Museum is spread out over four floors and exhibits weapons and memorabilia connected with the Greek Armed Forces.

Few countries have known so much conflict and instability since their creation than Greece.  The Greek War of Independence, The Balkans War, World War's I and II, the Greek Civil War.  For over 140 years, it barely seemed to get a moment's peace.  It's hardly surprising, then, that the Athens War Musum is considered such an important place - and serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles of the past.
 

It's not hard to find - located on Vassilissis Sofias Avenue - closest metro Evangelismos - just look for all the military planes outside, it's pretty hard to miss.  No tanks, however.

Current opening hours are 09:00 - 19:00 in the summer, and until 17:00 in the winer, but closed on  Monday's.
