I just thought 74Ls were and are exotic enough to be a pleasant surprise. IIRC I saw Iran Air and Syrian Arab ones at LHR T2 at some point after '83.

Having taken advantage of the AZ YYZ-LCA mistake fare (4x, including 2x in a week) and spending quite a bit of time in Cyprus, I bought a meze cookbook and the author was a flight attendant with Olympic (back to the shipping connection) and spent a lot of time on BEY layovers. So how about:

4G Olympic Airways A300 LHR - ATH
4H Olympic 737-200 ATH-BEY
