A bit late for greekofile but on the day of the riots in Athens, which was the 1st day of the last general strike I know the easyJet flight to Heraklion was cancelled & I'm pretty sure that the airport in Crete was closed.

However ekathimerini, which is the English language version of one their online newspapers, reported that flights yesterday were to be unaffected as air-traffic controllers announced that they would not join the walkout. One can only assume therefore that the airport staff, presumably not part of the main unions organising the strikes, must have been working. Hopefully greekofile got there.

It also reports that another day is planned for June (hopefully not the 17th when I fly) but that date doesn't seem to have been released.
