Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Turkish coastline, the historical Mytilene Castle, and the scenic eastern shoreline of Lesbos during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Moudros Bay

A massive natural harbor on Limnos, famous for its role in the Gallipoli campaign.

🇹🇷

Turkish Mainland

Clear views of the Troad region and Cape Baba, the westernmost point of mainland Asia.

🏰

Mytilene Castle

One of the largest fortresses in the Mediterranean, visible just before touchdown.

🚢

Mytilene Harbor

The bustling waterfront of the capital city, featuring the Statue of Liberty replica.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Anatolian coast. For morning flights, this side will have direct sunlight, so wear sunglasses. During the short descent, look for the medieval castle perched on the promontory of Mytilene.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🌋

Southern Limnos

The rugged, volcanic southern tip of Limnos as the aircraft climbs over the Aegean.

🌊

Agios Efstratios

A distant, isolated volcanic island known as a quiet sanctuary in the North Aegean.

🌲

Mount Lepetymnos

The highest peak of Lesbos, often covered in lush Mediterranean greenery.

⚓

Gulf of Kalloni

A glimpse of the massive, shallow bay famous for its world-renowned sardines.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights to avoid glare and witness the sun dipping into the Aegean. Watch for the small, rocky islands scattered between Limnos and Lesbos in the deep blue waters.
