Mount Olympus
In the distance across the Thermaic Gulf, the legendary home of the Greek gods is often visible on clear days.
Kassandra Peninsula
The first finger of Chalkidiki, showcasing long sandy beaches and luxury resort developments from above.
Moudros Bay
As you descend into Limnos, see one of the largest and safest natural harbors in the Mediterranean.
Northern Sporades
On very clear days, the distant silhouettes of Skiathos and Alonissos may be visible to the south.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the Aegean. Keep an eye out for the thermal currents creating interesting cloud formations over Mount Olympus in the distance during takeoff.
