War Museum

Established in 1964 as a tribute to those who gave their lives for Greece’s freedom, the War Museum honors the spirit of resilience and sacrifice that has shaped the nation's history. Through its extensive collection, it chronicles pivotal moments in Greek military history – from the Balkan Wars and the Asia Minor Campaign to the involvement of Greek forces in Korea. The museum showcases a compelling array of artifacts, including swords, pistols and military equipment from the 18th and 19th centuries. Among the most striking displays are the fighter aircraft stationed at the museum᾿s entrance and the full-scale model of the mythical Daedalus – symbols of both innovation and courage. To fully appreciate the historical arc, visitors are encouraged to begin their exploration in the Hall of Antiquities on the first floor, where the foundations of Greece’s military legacy are laid out with care and context.
