Euboea (Evia)
The long, mountainous island stretching along the eastern coast of the mainland.
Thessalian Plain
The vast 'breadbasket of Greece' appearing as a geometric patchwork of agricultural fields.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Gods; look for the Mytikas peak reaching 2,917 meters.
Thermaic Gulf
The northwestern corner of the Aegean Sea with views stretching toward Thessaloniki on clear days.
Mount Vermio
Significant peaks near Veria that mark the transition into the higher altitudes of Kastoria.
The right side is the definitive choice for seeing Mount Olympus. Try to book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern slopes of the mountains. Ensure your window is clean for photos of the Olympus massif, which usually appears about 30-40 minutes into the flight.
