I'm no expert here but mykonos has a single runway with turn points (16/34) and a central terminal. When we landed 10 days ago we circled around the east side of the island and landed on 34, as there was a northerly wind, and again we took off on 34 as the wind was coming from nnw. Other airlines were also landing on 34. I assume landing on 16 happens when the wind is from the south, and yes the terrain close to the airport is interesting!

The picture shows incoming aircraft on final into 34 from the viewpoint of Paradise beach on the afternoon of 1/10/24.
