Which station measures Athens's temperature?
Athinai Airport (LGAT), 28 m above sea level. Every figure on this page comes from that one station rather than from a city-wide average, so it is a measurement at a known place rather than an estimate for an area.

109.4°F, on 3 August 2021, in the record held for Athinai Airport. That is the highest daily maximum in the archive for this station, not a national record and not an official figure: those are set by national meteorological services.

24.4°F, on 18 February 2008, in the same archive. Like the high, it is the lowest daily minimum this station has recorded rather than an official national figure.
