The airport closes at night, so it is not possible to stay overnight. A traveller tells us “Hours are from 5 am to 11 pm. Big extended roof covers a second floor terrace above the departures entrances. Stairway is open and located about in the middle of the terminal. The terrace is clean and seems really safe.
