The future of Heraklion’s Nikos Kazantzakis Airport site is moving another step forward, with a tender expected this week for a study examining how the enormous coastal property could eventually be redeveloped.

The catch? Nobody has decided what will actually be built there yet.

The site covers more than 2,000 stremmata and has direct frontage on the sea. Once the existing airport ceases operations, the property could become one of the largest redevelopment opportunities in Heraklion and potentially one of Crete’s most significant urban projects.
