The Dolomites
The jagged, pale limestone peaks of the Italian Alps providing a dramatic landscape early in the flight.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Hundreds of Croatian islands including Hvar and BraΔ set against crystal clear turquoise waters.
Athens & Attica
A sweeping view of the Saronic Gulf and the urban sprawl of the Greek capital from high altitude.
The Cyclades
Incredible aerial perspectives of Mykonos, Naxos, and the volcanic caldera of Santorini.
Crete Silhouette
The massive mountainous outline of Crete appearing on the horizon during the descent into Karpathos.
This is the premier side for island spotting. To see the Santorini caldera clearly, keep a close watch about 30-40 minutes before landing. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting as the sun illuminates the white-washed Aegean islands from the west without creating harsh shadows.
Book Hotels in KarpathosHohe Tauern Range
Stunning views of the Austrian Alps, including the Grossglockner massif and glaciers.
Sarajevo Valley
The historic capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina nestled deep within the Dinaric Alps.
Mount Olympus
The mythical home of the Greek gods visible as you cross the northern Aegean coastline.
Chalcidice Peninsula
The unique 'three fingers' of northern Greece reaching into the blue sea.
Rhodes Coastline
Clear views of the northern tip of Rhodes and the medieval city during the final approach phase.
Sit on the left for the best views of the high Eastern Alps shortly after takeoff. Since the flight path is South-Southeast, morning flights will experience significant sun glare on this side; afternoon flights offer much better lighting for photography of the Greek mainland.
