ATHMLO

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Cycladic island chain, including Kea, Kythnos, Serifos, and Sifnos, culminating in a spectacular entry into the Milos bay.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏛️

Cape Sounion

The historic Temple of Poseidon perched on the edge of the Attic peninsula during the initial climb.

🏝️

Northern Cyclades

Aerial perspectives of Kea and Kythnos with their characteristic rugged terrain and hidden coves.

🏘️

Serifos and Sifnos

Clear views of the white-washed Choras and terraced hillsides of these central Aegean islands.

🌊

Aegean Blue

Deep turquoise waters contrasted against the dry, golden landscapes of the volcanic archipelagos.

🌋

Milos Caldera

A dramatic descent into the horseshoe-shaped bay of Milos, one of the largest natural harbors in the Mediterranean.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to catch Cape Sounion. During the final descent, look for the unique geological formations and colorful boat garages (Syrmata) along the Milos coastline.

Right Side Highlights
7.0
🚢

Saronic Gulf

Distances views of Aegina and the busy shipping lanes leading to the port of Piraeus.

🏔️

Peloponnese Horizon

On clear days, the mountainous silhouette of the eastern Peloponnese is visible across the sea.

🏖️

Western Milos

The wild, uninhabited western side of Milos featuring the Kleftiko sea caves area during certain landing patterns.

🌅

Sunset Horizon

The ideal side for late afternoon flights to witness the sun setting over the open Aegean Sea.

The right side is perfect for sunset flights as the light reflects beautifully off the water. While it sees fewer islands than the left, it provides a sense of the vastness of the Aegean. If landing from the south, this side may offer views of the spectacular white cliffs of Kleftiko.
