We did two fly arounds before landing. Apparently only Captains can land at Mytilene and not the First Officer, because its tricky! That's probably why they've got netting up at the end of the runway! Fortunately coming home we took off in the dark haha.
Lol yes is a tricky little airfield! The final approach track brings you in at 337' which is offset by 13.5 degrees from the runway center line! And you only really intercept the runway center line at about 2 miles! That, the prevailing winds, the terrain and the short runway, make it all rather Greek!!! Still, bet the view was amazing as you went around!!!
