Our Recommendation

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏛️

Athens & Acropolis

During the initial climb, enjoy bird's-eye views of the ancient city and the Parthenon if departing to the north.

🏔️

Mount Olympus

The home of the gods is visible approximately 20 minutes into the flight, standing as Greece's highest and most iconic peak.

⛰️

Balkan Mountains

Rugged ridges and deep valleys stretching across the heart of Bulgaria.

🌲

Carpathian Mountains

Dense forests and dramatic peaks as the flight passes over the border regions of Romania and Ukraine.

🌾

Ukrainian Steppe

Vast, geometrically patterned agricultural landscapes that define the breadbasket of Europe.

Book an evening flight to witness a spectacular sunset over the Balkan range. Ensure your window is clear for the 20-minute mark to capture Mount Olympus, which is the undeniable highlight of this route.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏝️

Aegean Archipelago

Deep blue waters dotted with the northern Sporades and Euboea islands immediately after takeoff.

⛪

Mount Athos

The monastic peninsula of Chalkidiki is visible jutting into the sea, often shrouded in a light mist.

🌊

Black Sea Coast

Glances of the Bulgarian and Romanian shorelines, including the port cities of Varna or Constanta.

🛶

Danube Delta

The intricate web of waterways where the Danube River meets the Black Sea, a massive UNESCO wetland.

🏙️

Dnieper River

The massive river system winding toward Kiev, providing a landmark for the final approach into Zhuliany.

Morning flights are ideal for this side as the sun illuminates the monasteries of Mount Athos and the reflective waters of the Danube Delta. Keep a lookout for the sprawling Kiev Reservoir just before landing.
