You're standing at the Athens War Museum, the military museum of the Greek Armed Forces. It sits right in the city centre, close to Evangelismos metro station. Start by looking around the grounds outside. You'll spot artillery guns from all sorts of eras, plus aircraft retired from the Greek Air Force. It's a bit of an open-air exhibition before you've even reached the door.
