Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Zakynthos town harbor upon departure and provides a majestic perspective of Mount Ainos, the highest peak in the Ionian Islands, during the approach to Kefalonia.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🚢

Zakynthos Town & Port

A bird's-eye view of the capital's harbor, the Solomos Square, and the Venetian castle on the hill.

⛰️

Mount Ainos

The dramatic 1,628m limestone massif of Kefalonia, often topped with clouds and covered in dark Cephalonian Fir.

🇬🇷

Peloponnese Horizon

On clear days, the distant mountains of the Greek mainland are visible across the sea to the east.

🏖️

Lourdas & Trapezaki

Sweeping views of the lush green slopes of southern Kefalonia meeting the long sandy beaches.

🛥️

Ferry Crossing

Spot the local ferries navigating the narrow channel between the ports of Pesada and Agios Nikolaos.

Sit on the right for morning flights to get the best light on the mountainside. Since the flight is exceptionally short (often under 20 minutes), keep your camera ready from the moment of rotation until touchdown.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏖️

Tsilivi Coastline

Aerial views of the sandy beaches and turquoise waters of northern Zakynthos immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Ionian Sea Depth

A stunning transition of water colors from light azure to deep cobalt as the plane crosses the strait.

🏘️

Lassi Peninsula

Clear views of the western resort areas of Kefalonia and the rugged cliffs near the airport approach.

🏝️

Vardiani Island

A small, uninhabited islet visible just off the southern tip of the Paliki peninsula before landing.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to minimize sun glare. This side is ideal for spotting the secluded coves and rocky outcrops along the southwestern edge of Kefalonia as the plane descends.
