This article describes a Socata TB20 trip from Shoreham with the following stops
(1) Portoroz LJPZ in Slovenia - the EuroGA fly-in
(2) Brac LDSB in Croatia
(3) Athens LGAV in Greece
(4) Milos LGML in Greece
(5) Skiathos LGSK in Greece
(6) Corfu LGKR in Greece (refuel only)
(7) Bastia LFKB in Corsica, France.
and back to (8) Shoreham EGKA.
It is somewhat similar to the 2014 EuroGA.org fly-in to Corsica which was also followed by a trip around Greece; that trip had more stops.
The EuroGA fly-in was actually to Piran which is a few km from Portoroz. The airport flown to was Portoroz. Originally the fly-in was going to go to the grass runway airfield at Venice (the "Lido", also called "San Nicolo", LIPV) but it was cancelled due to a late discovery that the Venice Film Festival was going to be there on the same dates. Also a number of pilots did not want to land on a grass runway.
The trip went almost to plan. No flights were cancelled due to weather, but the return route Skiathos-Athens-Bastia-Shoreham was replanned with Athens replaced with Corfu.
