Highly recommended fun stop on a scenic island. Field is beautifully maintained, well kept enough for me to be confident landing the Mooney there. Ed who runs the aviation services is a top notch gentleman, very helpful. Was able to rent their courtesy car for 20 euro for the day, I believe. I don't remember landing or parking fees but they were inexpensive if any. There are lots of vintage aircraft based at the field, and a general positive community feeling. The island has lots of beaches and nature as well as some quaint towns. We happened upon a fish smoking festival. This place is a gem.
