Located a few miles south of Athens, Greece, the once proud Hellenikon International Airport now lies in ruins.
For six decades, the airport served as the Greek capital's main hub for commercial air travel. But it's been defunct since 2001, when it was replaced by Athens International Airport.
But change may be in store for the site, which sits abandoned. Investors are reportedly looking to sink billions of dollars into the site's redevelopment, which could include a resort complex.
Hellenikon Airport started out life as a military airbase in 1938.

During World War II, the base was used by occupying Nazi forces.

The Greek government gave the U.S. Air Force permission to use the base from 1945 to 1993.
