ATH β EIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (Athens) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panoramic experience, combining the stunning turquoise waters of the Adriatic coastline with a more direct view of the high peaks and glaciers of the Central Alps.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Exquisite views of the Croatian islands, including Hvar and BraΔ, set against the deep blue of the Adriatic Sea.
Central Alpine Range
Dramatic views of the snow-capped Swiss and Austrian Alps, featuring jagged ridges and glacial valleys.
Lake Constance
The massive expanse of the Bodensee, where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Upper Middle Rhine
The winding Rhine River valley, famous for its dense concentration of medieval castles and steep vineyards.
Dutch Polders
The geometric beauty of the North Brabant countryside as the aircraft descends into Eindhoven.
Sit toward the front or far back to avoid the wing obstructing the Alpine views. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit landscapes for photography. Keep a lookout for the city of Venice on the horizon about midway through the flight.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods, visible shortly after takeoff from Athens in Northern Greece.
Grossglockner Region
Views of the Hohe Tauern National Park and Austria's highest peaks to the east of the flight path.
Munich & Bavaria
The sprawling city of Munich and its iconic Allianz Arena are often visible during the transition over Southern Germany.
Black Forest
Dark, dense evergreen canopies of the Schwarzwald region visible on the eastern horizon.
The right side is ideal for catching the early Greek landmarks like Mt. Olympus. In winter, this side catches the morning sun, which can create harsh glare on the window; use a polarized lens for photos. Watch for the Main River as you cross into Central Germany.
