Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, announced on Thursday the 2023 plan for the Greek island of Crete.
The plan includes 480 projects worth 7.7 billion euros, with a new international airport in the Cretan village of Kasteli.
Mitsotakis was visiting Crete on Wednesday to announce the plans and said the new international airport will be completed on schedule and will be “an architectural jewel but also a beacon of development” for Greece.

“We are talking about the biggest construction site at the moment in our country. We are talking about one of the biggest airports being built in Europe, an airport which will finally be bigger than that initially foreseen,” Mitsotakis said.
“This is because we have to anticipate and take into account the very positive developments that have taken place since the airport was originally planned.
“The progress that has been made is impressive.”
