Northern Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Italian Alps stretching toward Switzerland immediately after takeoff from Malpensa.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate network of islands and deep blue waters along the Croatian and Montenegrin coastlines.
Pindus Mountains
The dramatic, jagged peaks of the Pindus range as the flight crosses into Northern Greece.
Athens & Attica
A distant but clear view of the sprawling Athens metropolitan area and the historic Saronic Gulf.
Mykonos Town
On the final approach (Runway 34), spectacular views of the white-washed buildings and windmills of Chora.
For the best experience, choose a seat well ahead of the wing to ensure unobstructed views of the coastline. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Balkan coast and the Greek islands perfectly. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the iconic windmills of Mykonos which often appear on this side.

Apennine Mountains
The central spine of Italy, offering rolling green landscapes and high-altitude peaks throughout the first half of the flight.
Gargano Peninsula
The distinctive 'spur' of the Italian boot jutting out into the Adriatic Sea.
Peloponnese
Aerial views of the historic Peloponnese peninsula, including the Gulf of Corinth and rugged southern capes.
Cycladic Archipelago
A bird's-eye view of islands like Kea, Kythnos, and Syros scattered across the Aegean Sea.
Delos & Rhenia
The sacred archaeological site of Delos and its neighbor Rhenia are clearly visible just before touchdown.
The right side is perfect for capturing the sunset on late afternoon flights, as the sun dips over the Peloponnese. It also offers the best view of the uninhabited islands of Delos and Rhenia during the final minutes of the flight. Be aware that midday flights may experience significant glare from the sun reflecting off the Aegean Sea.
