This is the first terminal (old airport) in Thessaloniki, Greece. Picture in Wikipedia for this airport. Thessaloniki International Airport, "Macedonia" - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oympic Airways had its main base was at Athens International Airport, with hubs at Thessaloniki International Airport, "Macedonia" and Rhodes International Airport, "Diagoras".

It is very possible that I have flown in this DC-6 from Kerkyra to Athens in July 1965. Flew in their Comet 4B from Frankfurt to Athens two weeks earlier.

Should go to dash7fan (if correct), not to me.

It is indeed the old Thessaloniki Airport Terminal Building, Greece. I thought that Homer's desciption of the "Wine Dark Sea" would lead the way.
I believe Dash7fan may have pipped Regdep,but may I leave it to you two gentlemen to decide?

So what are the words on the terminal building?

Sabredog, can you show your unedited photo?

Correct sabredog! Five runways, one wholly in Croatia, one wholly in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and three in both.
