The turbulence was on approach - once on the ground no issues. I don't actually think the earthquake does affect the approach (I have a geography degree so know that it shouldn't) - just wondered what others opinions were. The problem was in flight - just about a 30-60 seconds before landing. As you've said, it was probably due to the winds off the surrounding hills. I have to say, it did make us a all a little anxious given the shortness of the runway at Skiathos and we were wondering the the pilot appeared to be landing on the very long (shared military facility) runway that is Volos how he'd handle the Skiathos landing but that was perfect - very smooth landing.
