Search flights from ATH to OSL
Euboean Gulf
Breathtaking views of the turquoise waters and narrow straits between mainland Greece and Evia island.
The Danube River
A spectacular crossing of the Danube, often providing a glimpse of the Budapest metropolitan area.
Carpathian Mountains
The high-altitude peaks and dense forests of the Tatra and Carpathian ranges across Central Europe.
Swedish Archipelago
The distinctive rocky coastline and thousands of small islands near Gothenburg as you head north.
Norwegian Highlands
The transition into the snow-dusted, forested rolling hills characteristic of Southern Norway.
Morning flights on the right side provide excellent lighting for photography of the Aegean and the Danube. Keep your window shade open as you cross the Baltic Sea into Sweden, as the contrast between the dark water and the rocky archipelagos is stunning, especially in winter when the lakes are frozen.

Athens & Piraeus
Clear views of the Greek capital and the bustling port of Piraeus immediately after takeoff from ATH.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, limestone peaks of the Balkan Peninsula stretching through Montenegro and Bosnia.
Jutland Peninsula
The scenic landscape of mainland Denmark and the transition from the North Sea to the Skagerrak strait.
Oslofjord Entrance
During the descent, witness the intricate coastline and scattered islands of the southern Oslofjord.
Sit on the left for evening flights to experience a prolonged golden hour over the Balkans. For the best views of the Oslofjord during landing, monitor the wind direction; a northern approach (Runway 01) makes the left side ideal for seeing the city outskirts.
