Santorini National Airport, Airport complex in eastern Santorini, Greece.
Santorini National Airport is a commercial aerodrome on the southeastern coast with a large terminal building of white structures and glass facades. The facility operates daily flights to Athens and connects the island with multiple European destinations during the summer season.
The airport was founded in 1972 and received a new terminal building in 1989 to handle rising passenger numbers. This expansion marked the shift to a modern European airport facility.
The terminal building shows Cycladic architecture through its white shapes and minimalist design that fits naturally into the landscape. Visitors experience this style directly when entering the airport.
The airport sits on the southeastern coast and is easy to reach from the island's main town, with clear signage for arrivals and departures. The facility is straightforward to navigate and passengers find all main services and amenities within the terminal building.
The runway runs parallel to the coastline and offers views of black sand beaches during landing and takeoff. This geographical setting makes each flight a special experience with uncommon perspectives.
