Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Boston to Athens. While takeoff offers Atlantic views, the landing approach into Athens provides more dramatic and varied scenery—the Saronic Gulf, Attica's mountain ranges, and the sprawling Mediterranean city itself. The left side captures these features most effectively.

During takeoff from General Edward Lawrence Logan International (BOS), sit on the Right side for the best views.

When landing at Athens International Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent into Athens. You'll see the Attica region's mountains, the Saronic Gulf, and the city sprawl of Athens and its surrounding areas as you approach from the west. Notable sights include: Mount Hymettus, Saronic Gulf, Athens urban area, Mount Penteli.

The flight from General Edward Lawrence Logan International (BOS) to Athens International Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH) takes Approximately 9.5 to 10.5 hours.

The flight path crosses the Atlantic, then over the United Kingdom and continental Europe. Notable features include: the Irish Sea and UK coastline (if routed north), the English Channel, the Alps or Pyrenees depending on routing (visible as a distant snow-capped ridge in winter/spring), the Mediterranean coast of southern France or Spain, and the central Mediterranean basin before approaching Greece. The Apennine Mountains in Italy and the Balkans may be visible depending on exact routing. Most of the mid-Atlantic crossing offers only open ocean.
