this will give you an idea of how it should look on a windless day http://

The Meltemi winds pick up mid afternoon so any arrival after about 1500L is likely to be affected. I have sat at Pythagorion and watched an unnamed German 757 operator have two attempts at 09 followed by a g/a on 27 followed by a landing.
I think the problems you mention with Tor Air were probably exacerbated by the communication (lack of) from the F/D. There isnt much choice of carrier to SMI, but there is a choice.
