The Turkish coast is a few kilometres across the strait, close enough that the approach is flown with Mykale mountain filling the window. Around 600,000 passengers a year use it, mostly Dutch, German, Scandinavian, British and Polish holidaymakers between May and October, plus the Athens flights that run all year.
