Which side of the plane to sit from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (Athens) to Zvartnots International Airport (Yerevan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the definitive choice for this route, primarily due to the spectacular close-up views of Mount Ararat during the final approach, complemented by historical landmarks near Athens.

Cape Sounion
Look down at the tip of Attica to see the ancient Temple of Poseidon perched on the white cliffs.
Anatolian Volcanoes
Fly over the high plateaus of Turkey, spotting massive dormant peaks like the majestic Mount Erciyes near Kayseri.
Mount Ararat
The legendary snow-capped peak dominates the view on the final 15 minutes of the approach into Zvartnots Airport.
Yerevan Cityscape
Catch a panoramic view of the 'Pink City' and its unique radial architecture during the final descent.
The right side is a must for first-time visitors to Armenia. Mount Ararat is the absolute highlight; aim for a seat behind the wing for an unobstructed photo opportunity. During winter, the contrast of the snow-covered Anatolian plateau is spectacular, especially in the golden hour before sunset.
