Skiathos International Airport (JSI) is renowned for its unusually short runway (just 1,628 meters) and spectacular approach that brings planes directly over the sea and beach, thrilling planespotters and photographers. The airport's location on a narrow strip of land means aircraft fly extremely low over the water and the adjacent Megali Ammos beach before landing. This unique setup has made it one of Europe's most exciting airports for aviation enthusiasts, who gather at designated viewing spots to capture planes skimming the coastline.
