General
Nea Anchialos (Νεα Αγχίαλος) houses a wing of F-16 fighters and is situated to the south east of Larisa just east of the national highway 1/E75 near Volos (Βολος) on the Gulf of Pagasitikos. Recently, the airfield was opened for civil use as well and the terminal is situated in the northwest corner of the airfield.
Layout
The airfield has three shelter areas. The base is bordered to the north by a long dyke obstructing any views from the Nea Anchialos side of the airfield. The sea lines the eastern perimeter. However, the west and south side do offer some possibilities and the aircraft tend to be parked in front of and between the shelters on flying days. The terminal is tucked away to the northwest of the 08 threshold.
Getting There
From the Athens-Thessaloniki highway take the Almiros (Αλμυρός) exit. To get to spots 2 and 3, when coming from the north go underneath the highway, make a sharp left turn and take the first right. From Athens, make a right after exiting. This road is signposted 'paralya' (παραλία - beach).
To get to spot 1 and the terminal proceed in the direction of Almiros after leaving the highway, take the road northbound to Krokio (Κρόκιο) and make a right under passing the highway and follow the signs to Almiros airport. This viaduct might be closed, in that case proceed further north towards Aïdinio (Αϊδίνιο) and/or Microthives (Μικροθήβες) and cross the highway there and track back on the other side.
From Volos you can also follow the coastal road to Nea Anchialos. From there it is probably easiest to head for Dimitriada (Δημητριάδα) and follow the road along the water and dyke westward. You can also reach spot 4 from this side.
