Saronic Gulf Islands
Aerial views of Aegina and the volcanic peninsula of Methana shortly after departure from Athens.
Corinth Canal
A rare vertical perspective of the narrow 6.4km long engineering marvel cutting through the Isthmus.
Mount Erymanthos
Glance over the lush, high peaks of the northern Peloponnese mountain ranges.
Zakynthos Coastline
Visuals of the northern 'Blue Caves' region of neighboring Zakynthos during the final descent.
Sit on the left for the best lighting during morning flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft. Keep your camera ready roughly 12 minutes after takeoff for the Corinth Canal, as it passes quickly. On the final approach to EFL, the left side usually provides a beautiful view of the Lourdas coastline.

Athens West Coast
Clear views of the industrial Eleusis Gulf and the Megara coastline during the initial climb.
Gulf of Corinth
Continuous views of the stunning turquoise waters between the Peloponnese and Central Greece.
Rio-Antirrio Bridge
An incredible view of one of the world's longest cable-stayed bridges connecting the mainland to the Peloponnese.
Ithaca
The legendary home of Odysseus is visible to the north as the plane crosses the Ionian Sea.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights, offering a golden glow over the Ionian islands. Look for the massive Rio-Antirrio bridge near the city of Patras about midway through the flight. Ensure you have a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the bridge.
