Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning views of the Balkan Peninsula, the right side provides a more intimate look at the dramatic Pindus mountain peaks and the world-renowned Vikos Gorge.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏛️

Mount Parnassus

The legendary limestone mountain associated with the Muses and the Oracle of Delphi.

⛰️

Pindus Mountain Range

Known as the 'Spine of Greece,' featuring rugged peaks and alpine landscapes.

Vikos Gorge

A glimpse into one of the deepest canyons in the world within the Vikos–Aoös National Park.

🏘️

Gjirokastër

The UNESCO-listed 'City of Stone' with its distinct Ottoman-era architecture visible near the border.

🏙️

Mount Dajti

The prominent mountain overlooking Tirana that signals your final approach into TIA.

🌊

Gulf of Corinth

The deep blue waters and the narrow stretch of land connecting the Peloponnese to mainland Greece.
