Which side of the plane to sit from Mikonos Airport (Mykonos) to Malpensa International Airport (Milano)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, starting with the iconic Mykonos town views, transitioning to the rugged Albanian coastline, and culminating in a spectacular approach past the Italian Lakes and the snow-capped Alps.
Mykonos Town (Chora)
Dramatic views of the white-washed windmills and the harbor immediately after departing JMK.
Mount Olympus
The highest peak in Greece is often visible to the North, appearing above the clouds.
Corfu & Albania
Stunning contrast between the lush greenery of the Ionian islands and the rugged, rocky Albanian coastline.
Venice Lagoon
Depending on the ATC routing over the Po Valley, the unique shape of Venice can be seen to the North.
The Italian Alps
A magnificent backdrop during the descent into Malpensa, featuring the Monte Rosa massif and Lake Maggiore.
The right side is the 'mountain side'. Choose a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Alps during descent. Morning flights provide the best lighting for photography, as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the mountains and lakes perfectly.
Cyclades Archipelago
Immediate views of Delos, Rhenia, and Syros islands scattered across the turquoise Aegean Sea.
Peloponnese Coast
Aerial perspective of the historic Greek mainland, including the Gulf of Corinth and Patras.
Ionian Sea Crossing
A long stretch of deep blue waters as the aircraft transitions from Greek to Italian airspace.
Puglia Region
The 'heel' of Italy, featuring the distinct agricultural patterns and white-washed coastal towns of the south.
Rome & Central Italy
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Eternal City and the rolling Apennine Mountains are visible.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon or evening to witness a spectacular sunset over the Mediterranean. Keep an eye out for the Corinth Canal as you leave the Greek mainland; it looks like a tiny blue needle piercing the land.
