Symi & Datça
Dramatic views of the fjord-like bays of the Datça Peninsula in Turkey and the colorful neoclassical harbor of Symi.
Nisyros & Kos
The circular volcanic island of Nisyros and the long, fertile coastline of Kos island pass directly below or nearby.
Mount Kerkis
The massive 1,434m limestone peak of Samos island dominates the view as you head north toward Chios.
Chios Town
Stunning approach views of the harbor of Chios, the historic Castle, and the narrow strait separating Greece from Turkey.
Çeşme Peninsula
The Turkish mainland at Çeşme is remarkably close during the final descent, offering views of its marinas and windmills.
Request a window seat away from the wing for the best photography of the island chain. The morning light is ideal for illuminating the Turkish coast. During the descent into JKH, look for the 'Kampos' area of Chios with its traditional citrus orchards and stone mansions.

Aegean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Aegean Sea and the occasional distant silhouette of the Cyclades islands.
Rhodos Coastline
A clear view of the northwestern coast of Rhodes and the ancient ruins of Kamiros during departure.
Astypalaia
On clear days, the 'butterfly of the Aegean' can be seen sitting on the western horizon midway through the flight.
Sit on the left if you prefer the afternoon shade to avoid direct sunlight. This side is best for capturing the sunset over the sea during late evening flights. Keep an eye out for small uninhabited islets like Syrna and the Tria Nisia.
