I am having a plaque engraved and the first line says

Happy Landings, Dave and the second line says

Your Athens Crew

Should it be Your Athen's Crew? Thanks for helping me out!

Definitely not! The S is there on Athens so it's invariable.

A different context would be "Athens' attractions" - but in your example it's correct without one.
Just think if it read "Your London Crew'"- no apostrophe whatsoever. The name of the city (a proper noun) is being used adjectivally. I suppose you are thinking "Your Athens Crew'"could be expressed as "Your Crew of Athens", in which case you could just about rearrange it to say "Your Athens' Crew", but Quizmonkey is quite right.
unless you're talking about some place called Athen, then it should be Athens as the others have said.
