The majestic 2,033m marble peak rising abruptly from the sea at the tip of the Holy Mountain peninsula.
Athonite Monasteries
Spot some of the twenty historic Eastern Orthodox monasteries clinging to the rugged cliffs.
Vourvourou Archipelago
The crystal-clear turquoise lagoons and small islands around Diaporos in the Sithonia region.
Thessaloniki Waterfront
An excellent view of the White Tower, Aristotelous Square, and the upper city (Ano Poli) before landing.
This side is the clear winner for landmark spotting. Try to book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating Mount Athos perfectly. Avoid seats over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastline.
