Skiathos Airport 'Alexandros Papadiamantis' is an airport on the island of Skiathos, Greece. Its 5,341-foot runway is able to accommodate aircraft up to the size of a Boeing 757-200. The runway is characterised as 'short and narrow'. Because of the uneven terrain on the island of Skiathos, Skiathos Airport was created by reclaiming land from the sea between Skiathos island and the smaller island of Lazareta (a former leper colony) effectively joining the two islands into one larger island.
This short and narrow runway on the island of Skiathos requires that pilots have additional training to land. Planes fly right over boats and beach goers to land on the strip that's just over a mile long.
