Several airports around the world are military especially Greece and some that I know of in Spain.
Murcia airport is the one that you think that you are landing on the sea as the runway starts virtually on the beach !
The one that I normally use at Almeria is not military and when we first went there in the early70s you just got off the plane and picked your luggage off of the tarmac ! so easy no queues and no hassle. However there was only one flight a week on a Thursday and the flight back then was £150 so we should count ourselves lucky on todays prices
