Have a look at Corfu 'Kerkyra' airport (LGKR) cockpit approach on youtube. We stayed in the Corfu Holiday Palace Hotel (ex Corfu Hilton)in Kanoni last September and found it quite interesting as the hotel sits on the hill to the right when landing from the sea side and looks straight down onto the runway. You can actually sit at the end of the runway under the flight path on the causeway which runs across the bay. This causeway is aproximately 400yds from the end and gives you unrestricted views straight down the short runway and makes for good pictures.
While we were there on one particular day there were a couple of go arounds due to stray dogs on the runway.
