Gulf of Mirabello
Stunning views of the deep blue bay and the luxury resorts of Elounda shortly after takeoff from Sitia.
Cyclades Islands
Aerial perspectives of islands like Naxos and Mykonos, characterized by their stark white architecture and blue domes.
Chios Island
Look for the distinctive patterns of the mastic tree groves in the southern part of this historic island.
Mount Athos
On clear days, the 2,033-meter peak of the Holy Mountain rises majestically from the sea to the northwest.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is superior for capturing the classic 'Greek Island' aesthetic. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes into the flight for the best island clusters.

East Crete Coast
Vistas of the rugged eastern tip of Crete, including the famous Vai palm forest near the shoreline.
Turkish Coastline
The dramatic, jagged coastline of Asia Minor and the nearby island of Samos are visible to the east.
Lesbos Island
View the massive Gulf of Kalloni and the lush, green mountainous interior of Greece's third-largest island.
Samothrace
The towering granite peak of Mount Saos on Samothrace island is a spectacular sight during the northern descent.
Evros Delta
A complex network of wetlands and river branches visible as the plane aligns for landing in Alexandroupolis.
The right side is excellent for seeing the sheer scale of the Turkish mainland and the unique peak of Samothrace. Afternoon flights may experience some glare on this side, so polarized sunglasses are recommended for spotting reefs in the shallow waters near the Evros Delta.
