Kalymnos Limestone Cliffs
Dramatic, rugged limestone formations immediately visible upon departure from the high-altitude plateau of JKL.
Pserimos Island
A bird's-eye view of this small, serene island located directly between Kalymnos and Kos, known for its turquoise bays.
Turkish Mainland
Clear views across the strait to the Bodrum peninsula and the Turkish coastline on the eastern horizon.
Northern Kos Coastline
The long, sandy stretches of Tigaki and Marmari beaches come into view during the descent into Kos Airport.
Sit on the left for the best morning light, which illuminates the Turkish mountains and the Aegean islets. Because this flight is exceptionally short (often under 20 minutes), ensure your window is clear and your camera is ready before takeoff.

Vathy Valley
A glimpse of the unexpectedly lush, narrow green valley on Kalymnos, contrasting with the island's rocky exterior.
Open Aegean Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Aegean Sea stretching out towards the Cyclades islands to the west.
Mastichari Village
The picturesque fishing village and ferry port on the northern coast of Kos visible during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset reflections over the Aegean. Look out for the tiny, uninhabited islet of Plati just off the coast of Pserimos.
