Airport: LGSK – Skiathos Alexandros Papadiamantis Airport, Greece
Division: Open
This month could be a fair challenge if you sometimes tend to overrun your landings.
Skiathos is an island airport similar to Saint Maarten where the south end of the runway sits on a beach. The runway slopes downward slightly with the northern end atop a built-up hill next to another beach area. This will be a similar type approach to St. Barth’s which you flew into last year, however, the runway is longer and can handle larger aircraft up to a 767. Be warned… with a runway length of only 5,300 ft a larger aircraft choice will require a nearly flawless touchdown.
This is a popular European vacation spot with flights coming to it from all over the EU. Have fun.
