Mount Dirfis
The impressive central peak of Euboea island, which remains snow-capped well into the spring.
Southern Euboea
Rugged cliffs and hidden coves along the coast of the second-largest Greek island.
Petalioi Islands
An emerald cluster of small private islands nestled in the South Euboean Gulf.
Mount Penteli
The historic source of Parthenon marble, visible as the aircraft aligns for landing.
Mesogeia Plain
The final view of vineyards and olive groves surrounding the Eleftherios Venizelos airport.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the mainland mountains. Keep your camera ready as you pass Euboea, as the flight path is often close enough to see mountain villages.
