This is one of the 1 million examples why Greece is utterly gorgeous. And remind yourself that this is the most utter Nort West corner of Greece. Greece is a country with extremely complex geography and topography, dominated by 80% mountains, and surrounded by 16.000km of crazy coastline. Then imagine that Greece lies on 4 tectonic earthplates, having 800 natural hotsprings around the nation because of it (fault lines etc), of which only 65 are used, 15.000 caves, 400 wetlands and delta's (a crazy amount), as some of the many impressive features of such a geographically complex nation. It's a nation with a whole arc of volcano's, a desert, the only natural palmforests in Europe, all the way to snow-capped mountains all across the country and everything in between. On top of that the incredible mainland is surrounded by 6000 highly diverse islands. Just looking at a simple example of the Island of Kos alone. Kos island has a smaller island just bordering it called Gyali island which is one of the largest Pumice sources on the planet. Looks NOTHING like Kos island. And it's just a stones throw away. And then the next island after Gyali island is Nissyros island which is a volcano island, which again looks nothing like Kos or Gyali. And literally they are 3 neigbhoring islands, just literally in eachothers sights Gyali island is only 11km away from Kos, and Nissyros is only 3.5 km away from Gyali. And just 3 completely different worlds. Let that sink in of how utterly diverse Greece even is and how crazily different you can be in a nother world within an hour, let alone the amount of worlds you can be in on a single day. Greece has a stupendously high density of diverse beauties. It's only a nation that is 800 km north to south and 800km East to West, but because it has a extremely complex geography, and lying on 4 tectonic earth plates (The European, Asian, African coming together in Greece, and a 4th one crushed in between), 80% mountains, makes the nation so packed with beauty, that around every corner you see a new spectacular view that you can't find elsewhere in Greece.
No published instrument approaches for this runway due to high terrain. Only options are visual approach or instrument approach to the other end followed by circling
An exhilarating video. Fantastic views of the sky, water, clouds and city. Loved the final approach when I could see the runway and the water, then flying over the city for the landing. A+ landing and video by the Captain.

Those arrows on the approach of the runway look like they're 3-D...
Thanks for showing us the magnificent scenery on this approach. I couldn’t help noticing the very long displaced threshold!
True...not to get close to houses next 2 d runway
Ahhhh.. Toda
north side approach and landing.Awesome
Great stuff !
😎, I Still Say "Smooth As Butter"
And The Views and Blue, Blue Water......BEAUTIFUL. Thank you My Crew. Stay Safe.
Umm that is runway 16....

Nice video I visited Korfu 1980 same airport.
Beautiful images!!!👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much!!, captain👍
Excellent video & landing 👍 lot of turns on the final approach, great views of the island 😎
When did they change the runway headings from 17/35 to 16/34?
Also looks like it's had a bit of resurfacing work and paint over the winter.
I was thinking this....
And did you notice that ATC announced clear to land 17? Obviously they were still getting used to the change.
What type of airplane is this? Camera perspective seems rather low to the ground.
Southern runway. Unusual approach.
Amazing. what a nice view ..
Why no altitude call outs after 500ft ?
An exhilarating video. Fantastic views of the sky, water, clouds and city. Loved the final approach when I could see the runway and the water, then flying over the city for the landing. A+ landing and video by the Captain.
What aircraft?
Embraer phenom
@@CaptainBoeing eeew
absolutely beautiful💙🛫
Nice.
So interesting to see the island from a different perspective as opposed to a side view from the aeroplane.
Maravilloso aterrizaje!! Muy lindas vistas!!Bellísimo!!Gracias por seguir soñando!!
Very nice, what a view!
Maravilloso aterrizaje!! Una vista increíble!! Gracias!!
Spectacular!!!
Captain a quick question.
You landed on runway 16, shouldn't the opposite direction be runway 32? Not 34.
Rwy 16=160 degrees
+180 degrees (the reciprocal) =340 degrees or Rwy 34
The runway marking is correct
You're absolutely correct LGKR rwy are 35 and 17 i dont know!
Yep
is that a 3D runway?
נהדר!
Hit the spot!
Más lindo no puede ser viajar con el insuperable Capitán Boeing !!.Corfu divino!! Gracias.
Byliśmy na korfu podziwiam opanowanie pilotów 😄
😊 abajo casa bueno río 😏😘😉😊👌
👏.
Great views, thank you.
What aircraft is this
this is quite rare landing runway 17 from the north east, usually its south west runway 35
Did you notice they are marked up 16 and 34?
@@peterjohnson724 thats what I thought but then the ATC said 17 and 32
@@Logan11thMEU I'm with you, I always thought it was 17 and 35, but 34 and 16 are painted on the tarmac in this video.
@@peterjohnson724 I guess You are right Peter , thanks for pointing that out mate
I am from Greece
