History
The airfield mainly operated during the 1960s and 1970s. It belonged to businessman Tasos Alexiou. During the Greek military junta, there was interest in construction of a new airport closer to Porto Cheli, but it was never realized due to scandalous compensations that were given.[1] In 2004, HCAA closed the airport due to required maintenance issues and in 2008 that the airfield's certificate expired, it was not renewed, thus closing the airport indefinitely.
