Swiss & Italian Alps
High-altitude views of massive glaciers and some of Europe's highest peaks like the Matterhorn in the distance.
Dalmatian Coast
The stunning contrast of white limestone cliffs and the deep turquoise waters of the Croatian islands.
Attica & Athens
A distant glimpse of the Saronic Gulf and the mountainous landscape surrounding the Greek capital.
The Cyclades
A spectacular bird's-eye view of islands like Mykonos, Naxos, and the volcanic rim of Santorini.
Kos Approach
Panoramic views of the island's long northern beaches and the neighboring island of Kalymnos.
This is the 'scenic side' for Mediterranean lovers. To avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun on midday flights, try to sit slightly behind the wing. Keep your camera ready as you enter Greek airspace; the density of islands in the Aegean is breathtaking from 35,000 feet.
