ATH → KZI
Which side of the plane to sit from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (Athens) to Filippos Airport (Kozani)?

The right side of the aircraft offers an iconic perspective of Mount Olympus, the highest peak in Greece, and superior views of the Athens metropolitan area shortly after takeoff.
Search flights from ATH to KZI
Athens Metropolis
A sprawling view of the Greek capital, including the Olympic Stadium and the northern suburbs.
Mount Parnitha
The densely forested national park that serves as the 'green lung' of Athens, visible immediately after departure.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the gods; look for the Mytikas peak which often stays snow-capped well into the early summer.
Thermaic Gulf
Glimpses of the Aegean coastline near Katerini and the distal view of the sea as the plane turns toward Kozani.
Pierian Mountains
The scenic mountain range adjacent to Olympus, known for its lush vegetation and traditional villages.
The right side is the 'Olympus side'—ensure you are in a window seat to capture the 2,917-meter peak. Morning flights are ideal as the rising sun illuminates the eastern face of the mountains. During winter months, the snow-covered peaks against the clear blue sky offer world-class photography opportunities.

Deep blue waters and the coastal fringes of the Attica Peninsula visible during the initial climb.
Mount Parnassus
The massive limestone massif famous for its ski resorts and proximity to the ancient site of Delphi.
Plains of Thessaly
The expansive agricultural heartland of Greece, featuring a patchwork of fields stretching toward the Pindus range.
Lake Polyfytos
The striking turquoise waters of the Aliakmonas River reservoir, crossed by one of Greece's longest bridges.
Sit on the left if you want to avoid the direct glare of the afternoon sun when flying northward. This side provides a better angle of the Pindus mountain spine in the distance and the agricultural geometry of central Greece.
