Built in 1937, the airport was originally used for military purposes and fully switched to servicing civilian flights only in 1959, when it was possible to lengthen the runway with a mound. Now the airport has two terminals, but the building is still very small, which does not prevent it from coping with the increasing passenger flow. However, tourists need to know that there are no sleeves at the airport and buses are taking passengers to the building from the plane, so you should take care of comfortable clothing in the weather.

Familiar with the typical Greek leisurely tourists try to arrive at the airport in advance. Moreover, you can wait there in one of the cafes and restaurants, ordering local dishes - masaka casserole, spanakopita pie and Greek pastitsio lasagna. Buying souvenirs is more profitable in shops on the island itself, but if there was not enough time for this or there is a fear of preponderance, you can leave the purchase of souvenirs in the end. In the duty free zone you can buy fresh olive oil and olives, anise vodka, Feta cheese and famous Greek ceramics. There are also currency exchange points, rental car desks and travel agencies at the airport.

You can take a taxi from the airport to the hotel, but the trip will cost 40 euros for half an hour during the day and more than 50 euros at night. Local residents try to earn more money from tourists, so it is useful to familiarize yourself with the route in advance and monitor the road. Pre-ordering a rental car on Bookingcar.su allows you to be sure of the invariability of the price and be free in your movement around the island. Another way to get from the airport to the selected resort is to use public transport, but for this you need to make a transfer, having reached the station in the city center.
