Heraklion International Airport
Located on the island of Crete, Heraklion is the major airport serving this tourist destination. Over 50 years old the airport has not kept up with the times and the influx of tourism. The airport is a disgrace and quite possibly could be the Gold Medalist for Worst EU Airport.
How bad is it? Watch Before You Go!

Bad title, airport doesnt look that bad at all... You're in an island not mainland and you're complaining?
@swissclimber1
@swissclimber1 6 месяцев назад
Who said I'm complaining? If an airport is good, great, awful, etc., I call a spade a spade. It's immaterial to me if it's good or bad. I just observe, assess and then comment/judge what my eyes see. Have you experienced this airport? Please ask someone who has gone through this airport their experience. Singapore is an island and not a mainland. Yet they have a fantastic airport. Whether island or mainland geography has no impact on whether an airport is great or not

@@swissclimber1 Singapore's airport is in mainland.. Mainland doesn't mean that the country is not an island, it simply means that this is where the main territories are.... You're comparing an airport in a small territory that is outside the mainland of Greece to MAINLAND Singapore's airport.. Iceland is an island too, but their airport is in mainland... That's not apples vs apples comparison.. Compare Athens airport with Singapore airport.. And I'm not saying Athens airport is better, I'm saying that's an apple vs apple comparison. Here is the definition of mainland: a large continuous extent of land that includes the greater part of a country as opposed to offshore islands and detached territories.

Overall, although it is very crowded and is running way beyond its capacity size, I think that the airport itself isn't bad at all, and is actually pretty good, despite the limited options there. You need to remember that you're on a small island, although it is the largest island of Greece, and that there's limited space and they can only do so much with it. Yes, there are pros and cons, but I think that the pros outweigh the cons. I've flown to this airport many times, so I might have some sort of favoritism towards it, but overall, HER isn't that bad, compared to many other airports in Greece or around the world! Luckily though, you will get your nice Kastelli Airport in a couple of years, which will get rid of your entitledness on how you want your airport to be!

Kastelli Airport is eagerly awaited by travelers who should be welcomed and depart from a quality facility worthy of the quality of Crete itself. HER is a terrible reflection on the greatness of Crete

I have been to Crete twice and going for the third time this year to the same place. We always fly to and from Heraklion airport. And I have to say, I can agree with you. The first time we were there it was very decent and I did not have any major complaints. But, the last time, it was very hot, poorly organized, crowded and had a smell of piss all over it. I wish they would step up.

I was stressed because most passengers were. Who could blame them - it was hot, crowded, horribly lit, chaotic, etc. Passengers were stressed trying to get the hell out of the bad airport. Lima Peru, Chișinău Moldova, and Tallinn Estonia as example were great vs Crete. I’m taking a survey all Greeks. Be honest. Is Heraklion a horrible or great airport ?
