Ionian Archipelago
Stunning views of Corfu, Paxi, and the white cliffs of Lefkada surrounded by vibrant azure waters.
Rio-Antirrio Bridge
One of the world's longest multi-span cable-stayed bridges connecting the Peloponnese to mainland Greece.
Gulf of Corinth
A long, narrow inlet of the Ionian Sea that separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland.
Peloponnesian Coast
The historic landscape of the Peloponnese with its deep bays, olive groves, and ancient fortresses.
Saronic Gulf
The approach into Athens often passes over Aegina and Salamina islands, dotted with ferries and sailboats.
The right side is the 'vacation view' side. Sit here on afternoon flights to see the sun reflecting off the Ionian Sea. Look for the distinct Corinth Canal during the descent, though it may be directly beneath the plane depending on the specific flight path used by the pilot.

Dubrovnik Coastline
Immediate views of the jagged Croatian coast and the red-roofed outskirts of the city upon departure.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, limestone peaks of Montenegro and the Accursed Mountains of Albania visible inland.
Mount Parnassus
The legendary home of the Muses and the site of ancient Delphi nestled in the high Greek ridges.
Mount Parnitha
The final mountain barrier before the aircraft enters the Athens basin, often covered in dense pine forest.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side is ideal for seeing the dramatic transition from the Balkan mountains to the ancient peaks of central Greece. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff to catch the Montenegro border.
