Skiathos airport is located in the Skiathos Island in Greece. It has a runway that is over 500ft long and can accommodate aircrafts like the Boeing 757-200. The uneven terrain in the Skiathos Island led to the reclaiming of the land that was between Skiathos Island and a neighboring island where the airport was built. This merged the two islands into one huge island.
