ATH β ARN
Which side of the plane to sit from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (Athens) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for iconic landmarks, including the legendary Mount Olympus, the historic city of Budapest, and the stunning final approach over the Stockholm Archipelago.
Mount Olympus
The highest peak in Greece and mythological home of the gods, usually visible 15-20 minutes after takeoff.
Budapest
A spectacular view of the Hungarian Parliament and the bridges connecting Buda and Pest across the Danube.
High Tatras
Dramatic, jagged peaks forming the natural border between Slovakia and Poland, often snow-capped until late spring.
Stockholm Archipelago
A breathtaking mosaic of thousands of forested islands during the descent into Arlanda Airport.
The right side is essential for the archipelago views on arrival. For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Mount Olympus and the Tatra Mountains mid-flight.
Piraeus Harbor
Aerial perspective of the bustling Mediterranean port and the Saronic Gulf islands immediately after departure.
Belgrade
The confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers at the heart of the Serbian capital.
Krakow
Views of the historic Vistula river and the medieval architecture of southern Poland.
Γland Island
The long, narrow Swedish island known for its windmills and unique limestone landscape during the Baltic crossing.
Sit on the left during afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. Watch the horizon as you enter Swedish airspace for the distinct limestone coastline of the Baltic islands.
