Postal & Philatelic Museum of Greece, Philatelic museum near Kallimarmaro Stadium, Athens, Greece

The Postal & Philatelic Museum of Greece occupies a building at the junction of Stadiou Square and Fokianou Street, beside the Panathenaic Stadium. Its displays include mailboxes, postman bags, horns, uniforms, envelope-sealing machines, safes, bicycles and motorcycles, alongside the first Greek stamps of 1861 and their printing plates.

The museum was founded in 1978 and preserves Greece's first stamps, including the Large Hermes Heads series produced by engraver A. Barre in France in 1861. These early issues mark the beginning of modern Greek postal services.

The museum displays designs and paintings by Greek artists who contributed to stamp creation, including works by D. Biskinis, A. Tassos, and I. Kefallinos. These artistic contributions show how notable painters invested their talent in shaping these miniature artworks.

The museum sits at the junction of Stadiou Square and Fokianou Street, right beside the Panathenaic Stadium (Kallimarmaro). It is run by the Hellenic Post organisation ELTA and later came under the Ministry of Digital Governance. Look for the building donated in 1977 by Nia and Andrea Stratos.

The museum traces the development of Greek postal services from 1828 onward, with focus on two main areas: stamp evolution and postal system progression. Rare items reveal how communication and message delivery changed across nearly two centuries.
