Greece Airmail Stamp Set (1926)

Greece · 1926 · Various

This set of four stamps was Greece's first issue specifically for airmail service. The designs feature a seaplane flying over various iconic Greek landscapes, including Athens with the Acropolis, Corfu, and Crete. The stamps were issued to facilitate the new air route between Brindisi, Italy, and Constantinople, Turkey, via Athens.

Issued in 1926, these stamps mark the beginning of regular airmail services in Greece, reflecting the growing importance of aviation for international communication and commerce in the post-World War I era.
