ATHJIK

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular tour of the central Cyclades, including aerial views of Mykonos and the sacred island of Delos, before a stunning approach along Ikaria's dramatic southern coastline.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏛️

Cape Sounion

Depending on the departure route, the Temple of Poseidon may be visible at the tip of the peninsula.

🏘️

Mykonos and Delos

Exceptional views of the famous white-washed Mykonos town and the UNESCO archaeological site of Delos.

🏖️

Seychelles Beach

The bright turquoise waters and white granite rocks of Ikaria's most famous beach are visible during the southern approach.

⛰️

Atheras Mountain Range

The dramatic 1,000-meter high ridge that forms the backbone of Ikaria island.

⚓

Agios Kirykos

The capital and main port of Ikaria comes into view just before the final descent into Faros.

This is the premier side for island spotting. Try to book a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of the Cyclades. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the southern coast of Ikaria. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight as the plane hugs the island's coastline.

Left Side Highlights

✈️

Attica Coastline

Views of the Rafina port and the eastern shores of Attica shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Southern Evia

The rugged peaks of Mount Ochi and the Cavo D'Oro strait separating the mainland from the islands.

🏝️

Andros and Tinos

Glimpses of the northern, wind-swept coasts of these large Cycladic islands.

🌊

North Aegean Sea

Vast expanses of deep blue water with small rocky islets scattered along the flight path.

Sit here if you prefer views of the mountainous terrain of Southern Evia. During morning flights, the lighting on this side is softer and better for photography without the glare of the southern sun. Watch for the northern cliffs of Ikaria as you prepare for landing.
