Airport traffic in Greece climbs 6.5% with Crete recording the strongest passenger growth

Passenger numbers are on the rise in Greece, as new data shows a 4.7 per cent increase in traffic at the country’s 39 commercial airports from January to July this year. The figures reflect a continued appetite for Greek getaways, from quiet island airstrips to bustling tourist hubs.

Traffic at the 24 Greek airports managed by the Civil Aviation Authority - including Heraklion, Kalamata, Alexandroupoli, Limnos, Astypalaia, Ioannina, Chios, Kozani, Kastoria, Karpathos, Kythira, Milos, Skyros, Nea Anchialos, Paros, Syros, Araxos, Naxos, Kalymnos, Ikaria, Kastelorizo, Kasos, Leros, and Sitia - increased by 6.5 per cent in the first seven months of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.
