I was flying in that part of the world that day although not at the exact time and we were substantially delayed by the greek atc strike. There were big CBs in the general area. Last time I flew into Paphos we were offered a visual. It would make sense that they accepted one wanting to get on with things and lined up on the taxiway which is substantially brighter and where you might expect the runway to be. Turning final on a visual you could easily miss the strange ILS indication. I think we can all learn from this one.
