Are Island Airports Well-Equipped in Greece?

Major islands (Mykonos, Santorini, Heraklion, Chania, Rhodes) have renovated facilities but compact layouts. Summer peaks can feel crowded.

Arrive early for departures—90 minutes minimum for intra-Schengen flights. Fast-track options exist on Mykonos and Santorini via some airlines or VIP providers. Private terminals and FBOs serve jets in Athens and select islands; coordinate ground handling in advance.
