Important discovery in Crete: in the region of Kasteli a large structure has been unearthed, estimations initially were that it was a Minoan phryctoria, however the latest hypotheses support it is likely a proto-Minoan shrine (earlier than the Palace of Knossos) dating back to about 3200/3000 BCE.
There are problems with the treatment of the archaeological site because it was found too close to the airport for its safety.
The unearthing of the monument is under process.

The Greek government is expected next week to ratify a contract for the construction and operation of the new international airport in Heraklion, Crete.
The construction of new airport at Kasteli, which is expected to be completed within 60 months of the launch date, would become the biggest construction project ever on Crete and one of the largest private investments made in the country.
The cost of constructing the new facility, which will replace the present Nikos Kazantzakis Airport, will amount to 480 million euros, without counting the air navigation equipment, which falls within the jurisdiction of the Civil Aviation Authority.
Heraklion’s Nikos Kazantzakis Airport, with more than 8 million passengers, was the second busiest airport in the country in 2018 after Athens’ Eleftherios Venizelos.
The current Heraklion facility has a single runway, a small terminal building, and aging air and land side facilities, which are no longer sufficient to serve the growing air traffic in the country.
What a day it's been! We've done lots and are really tired. We saw the Minoan Palace of Knossos, we visited the traditional Cretan village of Kasteli and we made it to Elounda our final destination.
