In the days (1998 I think) when Larnaca was the only Cyprus destination, my 767 ended up diverting to Paphos due to fog further up the coast. We landed at around 3am and parked up, steps pulled into position and we waited until after dawn before taking off again for the short hop over to Larnaca. I remember we were allowed off if we wanted to stretch our legs at the bottom of the steps. A couple of PA's to remind passengers that smoking wasn't permitted and a few disgruntled passengers who wanted to get off as they were staying in that area but weren't allowed to.
