For a 3rd year on “Athens Flying Week” (AFW) will take place again in Athens last week of September.
http://www.athensflyingweek.gr/
The website still has stuff from last year.
Its a great Air Show in Athens Tatoi LGTT airport with static and aerial side events running in parallel.
The GA section of it includes a Fly In hosted at the apron on the other side of the spectators.
For 2014 AOPA Greece will facilitate a week before and a week after the event pilots who want to fly to selected Greek airports.
They will have tourist package special deals with better prices etc. arranged in advance for these destinations supported by the AFW organizing committee.
The idea is that you come to Greece due to AFW and AOPA will for these two weeks facilitate things you usually do on your own as well as offer better deals.
The bookings and commitments will be done by the people traveling but with “ready proposals” for them to choose from and these will include places locals know that they are good to recommend.
Pilots & pax in order to enjoy these facilitations DO NOT have to visit AFW. Its just a couple of weeks’ worth of hospitality in the name of AFW advent.
Well someone reading Peter’s write ups will have most of the info. already but not all potential visitors have not read them yet 
More info. on the above will come soon after local vendors commit to prices and availability.
AFW website will progressively start to upload data for 2014.
Latest news are more quickly fed in to their Facebook page.
So this is just a heads up from me just to give you some advance food for thought.
LGTT is a military base very close to Athens open only to local aeroclubs and not private aircraft.
ANY private aircraft coming in for AFW will be allowed in from a couple of days before the show to the day after (i.e. something like WED to MON).
Its a unique opportunity to fly to Athens and stay parked so close to the city and land with 0 (zero) CAA and Handling charges, including all Greek airports for that couple of weeks.
The organizer of the event is a Saratoga owner based at Tatoi (via Aeroclub).
This is the reason GA – the Fly In part – is highly welcomed in this Air Show in contrast to others when logically GA is a nuisance to the strict air Air Show schedules.
For people who do not want to stick to the arrival & departure available (1-2hr) time windows in between the show, provisions will be made to have space available at Megara LGMG and get facilitated car connections downtown or to Tatoi depending on demand.
Here’s me parked with the TB20 at the Fly In apron while the “Thunder” roars above.

AOPA Greece and the Athens Flying Week organising committee are already answering pilots’ questions about this year’s international event. A new revised edition of all relevant information, incorporating answers to most questions received so far, will be available in AOPA site (www.aopa.gr) by mid-April.
The general outlook for AFW 2014 is as follows:
a) AFW fly in from Sept 15 to Oct 5
During this period, each participating pilot may plan his own flying schedule. Arrival and departure dates, and days at selected airports are to be decided by the pilot only. Participation in other AFW activities is suggested; but again it is for the pilot to decide.
During this period AOPA Greece will be manning a pilot support office which will provide pilots with all necessary information – airports operating hours, fuel availability and price, hotel suggestions and anything else a pilot may need abroad. This pilot support office will be useful especially to seaplane pilots, who will be flying for the first time in a country that has approved seaplanes just a few months ago.
So far, participating airports are, LGSR Santorini, LGKF Kefalinia, LGZA Zakinthos, LGTS Thessaloniki, LGRP Rhodes, LGSM Samos, LGST Sitia. More airports are to be announced by mid April.
b) AFW activities in Athens area from Sept 22 to Sept 28
During the last week of September a lot of aviation activities are planned in the Athens area, to arouse public awareness of general aviation. These activities include exhibitions of aviation-related material in selected places in central Athens, seaplane and aerobatic operations along the Athens coastline, a Greek aviation forum and above all, of course, the Regional Meeting of IAOPA EU to be held in Athens, on Sept 27
Participating pilots are invited to attend these activities, in addition to usual visits to Athens Acropolis and various Museums.
c) AFW aviation exhibition and Air Show, 26-28 Sept
The highlight of AFW is the international aviation exhibition and Air Show at Tatoi Military airport. General aviation, military aircraft, helicopters, gliders, microlights, everything that flies in the air will present a continuous three-day air show. More than 50,000 spectators attended the AFW Air Show last year. It is by far the biggest international aviation event in South East Europe
Participating pilots are strongly advised not to miss this opportunity.
