Santorini Airport by J Rosenberg

Tiny. If more than one flight is waiting to board, you'll have a hard time getting a seat in the bar or gate area. Typically overpriced, but a great view of the runway from the bar. Not a bad place to fly in/out of.

Arrived from Athens. Small compact airport. Nothing to complain. My flight was the only flight to land that evening and the airport was close to the water's edge so it was a very welcoming sight on arrival. No connecting bridges. You walk down the plane and straight into the arrival hall. Almost spartan arrival hall with only 1 conveyer belt for baggages. Walked out of customs and straight into a horde of touts and a very large carpark. Airport is just 15 minutes away from Fira by car, the biggest town on the island.

Santorini is a lovely island with and ever growing number of visitors. The airport however leaves a lot to be desired! When you get to the airport you have to queue outside in seperate queues for your flight depending on take off times. So whoever has the earliest flights gets into the airport first. You have to put all luggage through an x-ray machine before you reach checking, which I have no problem under the present climate, but the security person was chatting to a youg lady rather than looking at the x-ray! With 8 check-in desk and 2 per flight it was mayhem, once you have checked in you then go through security again which took at least 30 minutes and after that you stand in an area no more than the area of a house and with 2 or 3 flights waiting to board that got very congested. You can escape to a viewing area, but like with our flight, some passenger missed the call for boarding and were late - making the plane 45 minutes late. It is a shame that such a nice Island is let down majorly by it's airport.
