Over the years I have read some really interesting in-depth science from people who really understand plastics on this site. I don’t know anything about plastics myself but here is what I do for my own collection.
Keep them out of light. Natural sun light is bad. Artificial light can do some damage over time too but it’s not as bad as that UV light.
Keep them out of extreme temperatures and moisture. Also quick and drastic changes in temperature, like what you get near your mechanicals in your basement.
I keep my loose collection (the ones not displayed) in archival bags in opaque clasp lid bins.
If you’re in Greece you’re in a maratime climate. I live about a block from the Atlantic myself. I can tell you that car engines, metal gate/fence hardware in my area don’t last as long as they do inland. The salt and ocean moisture in the air is corrosive as hell. Keep them indoors.
Please for the sake of your collection keep them indoors. Maybe a family member can let you store them for you.
