On top of a small hill southwest of the city of Marathonas is the Hellenic Naval Air Station Kotroni. It is home to two squadrons with helicopters but also to the helicopters of the Hellenic Coast Guard. Spotting conditions are not too good due to the built of the airport.
On top of the mountain there are two small runways and one large apron. All helicopters taxi to one of the runways for take off and will also land here before they taxi back to their stands.
The airport is located next to the road 54 which leads from Athens, via Nea Makri to the historical site of Marathonas, the start of the marathon. There is a road up to the mountain which leads to the gate and is indicated by the sign saying 'Elliniko Polemiko Naftiko '.
While this Aegean Seahawk is preparing for its take-off in an easterly direction, in the back you can see spot 3. This photo by Piet Luijken is made on base.
Eventually all AB212s while be toned down, this one is pictured on base by Piet Luijken.
