Mouse Island (Pontikonisi)
The most iconic landmark of Corfu, visible seconds after takeoff from the south-facing runway.
Paxi & Antipaxi
Look down at Voutoumi Beach for some of the clearest, most vibrant turquoise water in the entire Mediterranean.
Lefkada West Coast
Spot the famous white limestone cliffs and electric blue waters of Porto Katsiki and Egremni beaches.
Assos Peninsula
A breathtaking view of the tiny village and its Venetian castle perched on a narrow neck of land in northern Kefalonia.
Myrtos Beach
Often voted one of the world's best beaches, its white pebbles and blue water are unmistakable from the air.
The right side is the 'scenic' winner for this route. To fully appreciate the turquoise gradients, fly mid-day when the sun is high. Ensure you have your camera ready immediately after takeoff and about 10 minutes before landing, as the most famous beaches appear in rapid succession. Avoid seats over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the cliffs.

Corfu Old Fortress
A stunning aerial view of the Venetian fortifications and the Spianada square immediately after departure.
Epirus Mountains
Dramatic views of the rugged mainland Greek coastline and the Pindus mountain range in the distance.
Meganisi & Nidri
The sailing hub of the Ionian, featuring a cluster of small green islands and white masts in the channel.
Ithaca (Ithaki)
The mythological home of Odysseus, showing its deep-cut bays and narrow, mountainous topography.
Mount Ainos
As you descend into Kefalonia, look for the dark green slopes of the island's highest peak covered in rare fir trees.
Sit on the left if you prefer views of the Greek mainland and the more sheltered, lush eastern side of the islands. This side is better for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the sea. Watch for the deep bay of Vathy on Ithaca just before the final descent phase.
