Antimilos Island
A striking, uninhabited volcanic cone that rises sharply from the sea shortly after departure from Milos.
Western Cyclades
Panoramic views of the rugged coastlines and white-washed villages of Sifnos and Serifos.
Cape Sounion
The southern tip of the Attica peninsula featuring the ancient Temple of Poseidon perched on the cliffs.
Piraeus Port
A clear view of the massive ferry terminal and shipping lanes that serve as the gateway to the Aegean.
Athens Cityscape
Unrivaled aerial views of the Parthenon, Lycabettus Hill, and the dense urban landscape of the Greek capital.
Opt for an 'A' window seat for the best views. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the islands and city without lens flare. Keep your camera ready as soon as the plane begins its descent over the Saronic Gulf.

The long, narrow, and historic island located just off the coast of Lavrio.
