I do not have any axe to grind with Egnatia, one way or another, but I have to take issue with this:

The village where the students reside is a ghost-town in winter and in summer a mosquito-prevalent
Hey!! Are we talking about Kavala? There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Nice little northern Greek village (and they even sell mosquito repellent).

...Ok, so while we're here...

The greek ATC also is not the best in europe
Well, neither is British ATC[1] for example, yet people seem to cope somehow. It's what you get used to that counts.

At last, Greece in my opinion has not surpassed yet her "aviation midlde age"
I couldn't possibly comment, never having flown in Greece (yet), but then again, a little bit of real world experience cannot hurt, can it? After all, as a commercial pilot, you wouldn't be expected to be confined to your local training area.

As I said, I don't know or care about Egnatia Aviation, but Kavala and the entire region is a fantastic place


[1] Yes, I'm aware that British people on a British forum, many of whom have never flown outside Britain, might for some strange reason disagree.

Hmm... Editing to say I appear to have cross-posted with the above contributor, putting forth more or less the same points (minus the personal attacks, no need for that ). So it's not Kavala we're talking about after all... well, Keramoti is nice as well... perhaps a few tourists in the summer but that's a minor inconvenience
