Search flights from JIK to LXS
Northern Ikaria
Dramatic views of Ikaria's steep northern cliffs and the rugged terrain of the Atheras mountain range immediately after takeoff.
Chios Island
Distant but clear views of the western coast of Chios, famous for its mastic trees and medieval villages.
Lesvos Island
An excellent perspective of Lesvos, the third largest Greek island, showcasing its green landscapes and olive groves.
Gulf of Kalloni
Spot the unique, almost landlocked bay on Lesvos, renowned for its rich biodiversity and sardines.
Limnos Coastline
A close-up view of the intricate, jagged coastline and eastern bays of Limnos as the plane aligns with the runway.
The right side is significantly more scenic as the flight path usually hugs the eastern edge of the Aegean. For morning flights, be aware of sun glare; however, the afternoon provides perfect lighting on the island mountains. Ensure your window is clean to capture the contrast between the turquoise waters and the green Lesvos terrain.
