Patras, Greece
Patras Araxos Agamemnon Airport (IATA: GPA, ICAO: LGRX) is an international airport located near the town of Araxos, approximately 50 kilometres west of the city of Patras in the Achaea regional unit of western Greece. It serves as the primary commercial airport for the greater Patras area and the wider western Peloponnese region.
