For thrill-seeking travelers, Skiathos Airport provides an adrenaline-filled landing experience comparable to that of Princess Juliana Airport in St. Maarten. The airport’s short runway extends almost to the water’s edge, and arriving planes appear so close to spectators that the airport has become a famous spot for aviation enthusiasts. The landing strip is adjacent to a viewing area, where visitors gather to feel the rush of jets flying low overhead before touching down.
Skiathos Island, part of the Sporades island group, boasts some of Greece’s most beautiful beaches and pine-fringed coastlines. The airport is conveniently close to these attractions, and the flight in over the emerald waters and rocky islands is an adventure in itself. The airport’s scenery, accessibility, and exhilarating approach make it a highlight for any visit to the Sporades.
