Just a few months before its trial operation, Heraklion International Airport at Kasteli is radically changing the map of air travel in Crete. With construction work now more than 65% complete and key infrastructure, including the runway and apron and the 93,000 sq.m. Terminal, taking its final shape, the project is entering its most crucial phase.
