Cape Sounion
The ancient Temple of Poseidon is visible on the edge of the cliff as the aircraft leaves the Attica peninsula.
Kea (Tzia)
The first major island of the Cyclades chain appearing with its characteristic rugged, mountainous terrain.
Syros Island
View the administrative capital of the Cyclades, featuring the colorful twin-hill architecture of Hermoupolis.
Naxos Channel
During the final approach, the narrow strait between Paros and its large neighbor Naxos provides stunning deep blue vistas.
Parikia Port
The main harbor of Paros and the famous Panagia Ekatontapiliani church can be spotted during the low-altitude approach.
Sit on the left (Port side) for the best chance to see the Temple of Poseidon immediately after departure from Athens. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the islands. During the descent, this side offers the clearest views of the proximity between Paros and Naxos.

Rugged, arid landscapes of the Western Cyclades with white-washed villages perched on high ridges.
Sifnos
A beautiful view of the island known for its traditional pottery and the famous monastery of Chrisopigi on the coast.
Antiparos
On final approach to Paros National Airport, look down to see the crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Antiparos channel.
