My view:

I have had nothing to do with Egnatia Aviation but I have had experience dealing with Greek ATC. To say they are not compliant compared to UK is not true. Have you ever flown in Greece? I would say they are overly cautious and not confident when there's a lot of traffic, Ive been made to orbit for 5 minutes, whilst on downwind when an aircraft conducting a VOR approach was on his outbound leg 8 Miles out!

Theres also is the small fact that you have to file flight plans even to do touch and go's- oh and the General declaration from the airport authority, just to do circuits!!

Beautiful country to fly around though, great food, nice looking women- Would highly recommend it. Just choose your school WISELY.

Also to the previous argumentative posts- Dont air your dirty laundry in public!!! Looks really bad to potential students- I was a propective student, but after looking at those kind of comments and general bickering I chose to FAS Rhodes instead.

Thanks
