kythira_airport_2Kythira’s National Airport has been renamed to reflect the contribution of Alexander Onassis to the airport’s construction and to Greek Aviation in general.

Kythira Airport is now named “Alexander Aristotle Onassis.”

The Municipality of Kythera initially received permission from the Alexander A. Onassis Foundation to use the name and later received approval by the Greek Transport Ministry.
