I totally agree with Dani. The Paphos runway is tricky. The taxiway is not a real taxiway but a back-up military runway. It is longer and wider that the actual runway and the most tricky of all, it is placed not on the side of the parking of the planes and the buildings of the airport but on the opposite side that drives to the military parking. An employee of the Cyprus civil aviation told me that the same incidents happened in the past but the airport authorities did nothing to correct it. A simple look on Google earth will make you understand.
