'''Heraklion International Airport, "Nikos Kazantzakis"''' () or '''Nikos Kazantzakis International Airport'''  is the primary airport on the island of Crete, Greece.  It is located about 5km from the main city of Heraklion.  The airport is named after Heraklion native Nikos Kazantzakis, a Greek writer and philosopher.

==Area==
Nikos Kazantzakis Airport serves Heraklion (Ηράκλειο), Aghios Nikolaos (Άγιος Νικόλαος), Malia (Mάλλια), Chersonissos (Χερσόνησος) and other resorts. 
It is Crete's main and busiest airport.

==Passenger Information==
It is often requested by airlines that passengers do not take any photographs or video of the runway. This is because of a Hellenic Air Force base which operates at the airport.
