Immediately after takeoff, witness the three 'fingers' of Chalkidiki stretching into the blue Aegean.
Mount Athos
A breathtaking view of the Holy Mountain and its ancient monasteries perched on steep sea cliffs.
Eastern Aegean Islands
Fly past the large islands of Lesbos, Chios, and Samos, often with the Turkish mainland visible behind them.
Rhodes Island
A clear view of the 'Island of the Knights' as you transition from the Aegean to the Levantine Sea.
Cyprus Northern Coast
As the flight nears Paphos, look across the island to see the jagged Pentadaktylos mountain range in the distance.
Book a seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the sun's glare and get the best lighting for photography of the monastic Republic of Athos. During the final descent, this side provides the best view of the island's interior topography before the final turn toward the runway.
