Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a front-row seat to the stunning Ionian archipelago, featuring the world-renowned turquoise waters of Antipaxos and the dramatic limestone cliffs of Paxos before descending into Corfu.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Antipaxos Island

Unrivaled views of the shallow, electric-blue waters of Voutoumi and Vrika beaches shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Paxos West Coast

The plane typically flies parallel to Paxos, revealing massive sea caves and 200-meter sheer white cliffs.

🌊

Ionian Sea Horizon

Panoramic views of the open sea where the water transitions from deep navy to bright azure.

🏘️

Lefkimmi Coastline

View of the salt pans and traditional villages as the plane enters the airspace of southern Corfu.

🛶

Halikiopoulos Lagoon

A close-up view of the wetland ecosystem and the iconic 'Mouse Island' (Pontikonisi) just before touchdown.

Sit on the left for the most scenic island views. On a clear day, the contrast between the white limestone and blue water is breathtaking. Aim for a mid-morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the turquoise bays of Antipaxos perfectly.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🦅

Ambracian Gulf

Immediately after takeoff, view the unique enclosed gulf, a protected Ramsar site known for its rich birdlife.

⛵

Syvota Archipelagos

Views of the 'Caribbean of Greece'—a group of lush green islets near the mainland coast.

⛰️

Epirus Mountains

The rugged Pindus mountain range provides a majestic backdrop on the eastern horizon.

🏰

Corfu Old Fortress

During the final approach into Runway 35, the Venetian fortifications of Corfu Town are visible across the water.

🇦🇱

Albanian Coast

Clear views of the Ksamil islands and the mountains of Southern Albania across the narrow Corfu Channel.

Choose the right side if you prefer coastal geography and mountain landscapes. This side is particularly beautiful during sunset flights, as the light hits the Epirus mountains. On approach to Corfu, watch for the narrowest part of the channel where Greece almost touches Albania.
