ATH → MLO
Which side of the plane to sit from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (Athens) to Milos Airport (Milos)?
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.
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.
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.
