Attention travelers to Greece - if you're a nervous flyer, you may want to stop right here. But if you are always fighting for a window seat to look at the mountains or the Greek Islands as you fly over them, these YouTube videos may be just your ticket.

Olympic Flight from Kavala to Athens

This is a long cut - includes clouds, a pretty sunset (or sunrise) and the countryside around the Athens International Airport at Spata.

Take Off with Aegean Air from Crete

In-the-cockpit footage of an Aegean Airlines flight taking off from Heraklion Airport on the Greek island of Crete.

Landing on Crete

This shows an approach from the West over the city of Heraklion - you can even pick out some buildings and hotels. Or maybe not pick them out, come to think of it. Many flights land from the opposite direction, so this was probably on a day when the prevailing winds changed the flight path.

Takeoff from Corfu Airport

Nice views of Corfu itself as the plane gains altitude, including a glimpse of the fort.

Flight Over Rhodos,Lindos, and Rhodos Town

Small-plane footage of a take-off, flight, and landing on the Greek island of Rhodes.
