Peloponnese Region, Greece

Within Greece there are a number of military low level training areas. Part of this area is known as the Peloponnese Region. The region is a popular location for this type of activity given its varied and mountainous terrain. It is commonly used by the Hellenic Air Force and foreign forces deployed during operations and exercises.  

​

It should be noted that aircraft are by no means guaranteed on any given day. It is quite possible to draw a 'blank' depending on military operations, serviceability and weather factors to name a few. However, with determination and patience the rewards can be exceptional. Local types of aircraft that may be seen in the area include, F-4E Phantom II, Mirage 2000-5, F-16 Fighting Falcon to name a few. If there is a detachment of foreign aircraft visiting Greece who knows, you may get lucky!

There are various viewing locations around the Peloponnese Region however it should be noted that these are situated high up in the hills. Therefore the weather can change rapidly and one needs to be of a certain fitness level and dress appropriately, packing for all eventualities.

At various points it is possible for aircraft to fly as low as 250ft at over 450 knots but in certain area's can go as low as 100ft.

There are more locations in the Peloponnese Region that I have yet to try. The particular valley used for the photographs presented on this page offers excellent views of incoming aircraft. Depending on which location (on either side) of the valley is selected, it is possible to capture head-on, top side, side-on, and underside shots. Whichever location you choose if you are lucky to see any military aircraft movements you won't be disappointed.
