Which side of the plane to sit from Mikonos Airport (Mykonos) to Santorini Airport (Thira)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled view of the iconic Santorini Caldera upon arrival, along with the archaeological site of Delos shortly after takeoff.
Search flights from JMK to JTR
Delos & Rhenia
Immediately after takeoff, see the sacred island of Delos and the turquoise waters surrounding Rhenia.
Paros & Antiparos
Aerial perspectives of the bustling ports and white-washed villages of these central Cycladic gems.
The Santorini Caldera
The highlight of the flight: a stunning view of the volcanic crater, Oia, and the steep cliffs.
Athinios Port
Watch the zigzagging road leading down the caldera wall where the main ferries dock.
Sit on the right side and choose a seat away from the wing for the best photography. This flight is extremely short (25-40 minutes), so be ready with your camera as soon as the plane begins its descent. Most landings enter from the North, meaning the right side looks directly into the heart of the caldera as you pass Oia and Fira.
Book Hotels in Thira
Naxos Island
View the largest and greenest island of the Cyclades, including the high peaks of Mount Zeus.
Ios Island
Spot the rugged coastline and the beautiful Chora of Ios perched on its rocky hill.
Santorini's East Coast
Observe the distinctive black pebble beaches of Kamari and Monolithos during the final approach.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. While you miss the caldera on approach, you get excellent views of the larger Aegean islands and the deep blue expanse of the sea. Keep an eye out for the island of Naxos roughly halfway through this very short flight.
