Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers a superior view of the Peloponnese coastline and the dramatic mountain ranges of mainland Greece, culminating in the scenic approach to the Mani and Maleas peninsulas.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Vassilikos Peninsula

Early in the flight, catch the golden beaches and turquoise coves of Zakynthos' southeastern tip.

⛰️

Taygetos Range

View the majestic peaks of the Peloponnese, which remain snow-capped well into the spring season.

🏰

Mani Peninsula

Observe the rugged, rocky terrain and traditional stone tower houses unique to this historical region.

⚓

Cape Maleas

See the legendary southern tip of Greece, known for its treacherous waters and lighthouse.

🏝️

Elafonisos Island

Spot the famously clear, shallow waters of Simos Beach just off the coast of the Laconian peninsula.

Choose a morning flight for the best lighting on the Peloponnese mountains. As the plane descends toward Kithira, look for the medieval fortifications along the coast. Ensure your window is clean for high-contrast photos of the deep blue Aegean meeting the rugged cliffs.

Right Side Highlights
6.4
🌊

Ionian Expanse

Enjoy the deep, cobalt blue of the Ionian Sea stretching toward the western horizon.

🏝️

Strofades Islands

Spot these two tiny, isolated islands that house a historic 13th-century fortified monastery.

🛡️

Pylos & Navarino Bay

Look for the distant natural harbor and the historic fortress of Methoni on the Messenian coast.

🌅

Sunsets

On late afternoon flights, this side provides an unobstructed view of the sun setting over the open sea.

The right side is ideal for travelers seeking a peaceful, oceanic view. If flying in the late afternoon, have your camera ready for the golden hour over the Ionian Sea. Keep an eye out for maritime traffic entering the Aegean from the west.
