⁠I will try to land at Leros on mid august with my little plane (Piper Arrow II) coming from Italy. Thanks for the pirep

It’s a great airport. The wind is almost always from the north. So approach will need to be done from the mountain slope to the sea, as you see in the video. No issue at all. Just expect a bit of turbulence from the hill tops. Enjoy

@@everflywings they just refused me to allow me to land due to technical reasons. Greece is a great Contry but it's really a challenge to fly in since the hours of opeations limitations, forced custom even for EU plane/crew/passengers, avgas availability and so on.

@@MassimilianoChiani i am sorry to hear it. Technical reasons for them is no parking available. Also often they are afraid that not all pilots can handle the winds. I suggest you call the handlers on the phone. I used Skyserv.
