Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning views of the Ionian Sea, the right side provides a superior sequence of diverse island chains, including the historic Ithaca and the intricate archipelago around Meganisi, followed by the wetlands of the Ambracian Gulf.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
⛰️

Mount Ainos

Kefalonia's highest peak, recognizable by its unique dark Abies cephalonica fir forests.

🏛️

Ithaca Island

The legendary home of Odysseus, offering views of the deep Vathy bay and the mountainous spine of the island.

🏝️

Meganisi and Skorpios

A cluster of verdant islands including the former Onassis private retreat, Skorpios, visible in the turquoise channel.

⛵

Nidri Coastline

The bustling eastern coast of Lefkada dotted with sailboats and tiny islets like Madouri and Sparti.

🦆

Ambracian Gulf

An ecologically rich gulf featuring intricate wetlands, salt marshes, and the narrow entrance to the Preveza channel.

The right side is perfect for island spotting. Keep your eyes peeled shortly after takeoff for the narrow strait between Kefalonia and Ithaca. This side is particularly scenic during sunset flights as the golden hour light hits the Akarnanian Mountains on the Greek mainland. During final descent, look for the Lefkada floating bridge that connects the island to the mainland.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Myrtos Beach

One of the most photographed beaches in the world, appearing as a brilliant white crescent against deep turquoise water.

🏰

Assos Peninsula

A narrow neck of land featuring a charming village and the ruins of a 16th-century Venetian fortress.

🌊

West Lefkada Cliffs

Towering vertical limestone cliffs that give way to the famous blue-water beaches of Porto Katsiki and Egremni.

⚓

Cape Lefkatas

The dramatic southern tip of Lefkada, home to the Temple of Apollo and breathtaking sea views.

Sit on the left for the best views of the dramatic limestone coastlines and secluded coves of northwestern Kefalonia and western Lefkada. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the west-facing cliffs, making the white rock glow against the blue sea. If the plane approaches PVK from the south, you'll get a direct view of the Lefkada lagoon.
