ATH

When landing at Athens International Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH), sit on the Left side for the best views. On the typical 03L approach you're flying in from the south and turning onto a NNE final, which puts the Athens basin off the left side of the aircraft. Passengers on the left get a distant but clear view of the Athens skyline with the Acropolis and Lycabettus Hill, the Hymettus mountain ridge, and the Saronic Gulf coastline beyond Piraeus. Notable sights include: Athens city skyline and Acropolis (distant), Mount Hymettus ridge, Piraeus port and Saronic Gulf, Aegina island on the horizon.
