Left greece a decade ago. Best decision i made in my life. Most bright and above average individuals has left the country, and is becoming a 3rd world shithole, stuck into deflationary infinite debt loop depression for 15years. Take a look at naxos' airport, it's like a cheap airbnb without even AC. (Tourism is the main industry of greece allegedly, especially on the islands and they don't even do the bare minimum). The sad part is the greeks in the comments defending such 3rd world soviet infrustructure, with signs from the 60s. It's either cognitive dissonance, or simply being "greek" (they just hate criticism because of the propaganda that greeks are lazy (which is false ofc), but truth is that greece is highly corrupt similar to countries like Ukraine).

Why is it spooky?? 1. Train station is near 90 years old and Adolf Hitler, Nazi and all the worshippers used this station to pay homage to Adolf 2. Train station has now etched out Nazi Hackenkreuz symbols 3. Train station is like a walk back in time 4. Train station is way underused. Built for daily 10,000 Nazi workshippers coming through daily 5. Look at the art work in the main inside station - that's so Nazi-esque glorifying German culture 6. Train station is massive - why? Berchtesgaden doesn't need such a large station. A relic of history 7. Train station architecture is Modern Nazi-era style. Need I say more??

Actually this does not even touch on the hideousness of this airport. Unless you have been there, best not to comment. Millions spent essentially on a new duty-free. Female toilets without locks on doors, no soap dispensers. Passengers waiting airside for too long with the high decibels of departing aircraft surely damaging the ears of babies/children. How this airport will cope with the introduction of EES in the coming months? Staff generally are harrassed but probably not valued and definitely not customer-oriented. Shame as so not Cretan. BTW I use this airport 4-5 times per year. Suggest routing through Athens and using Sitia in the east if travelling from Elounda eastwards for a less stressful and more pleasant experience . Sure there are worse places but this is a major holiday destination!!😢

I used the lounge June 2024, unfortunately it was pretty crowded (I was stuck sitting at a bench with a tiny table for my friend and I to share- the one you can see on the left side at 1:08). I was there on a Saturday- late morning to early afternoon. There is another lounge available for priority pass members- it had more food options, less crowded, but furniture & decorations were not as nice as the aviator lounge. I liked the snack food better in the aviator lounge compared to the other one.
