Search flights from CRL to SKG
High Alps
A spectacular crossing of the Austrian Alps, offering direct views of jagged snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, limestone mountain chains stretching through Montenegro and Albania provide a dramatic landscape.
Mount Olympus
The home of the gods is the star attraction, appearing as a massive, often cloud-shrouded massif just south of the airport.
Thermaic Gulf
Enjoy views of the deep blue Aegean waters and the Thessaloniki coastline as the aircraft banks for its final approach.
This side is essential for seeing Mount Olympus, which appears roughly 15 minutes before landing. In the winter, the snow-covered Alps are breathtaking. For afternoon flights, be aware of direct sunlight; use your window shade if needed until the Alpine crossing begins.
Book Hotels in Thessaloniki
Ardennes Forest
View the lush, rolling green hills and river valleys of southern Belgium shortly after takeoff from Charleroi.
Eastern Alps
Distant but impressive views of the Austrian and German Alpine peaks as the flight passes over Central Europe.
Belgrade
The Serbian capital is often visible, marked by the prominent confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.
Chalkidiki Peninsula
During the descent, look out for the distinct 'three fingers' of the Chalkidiki region reaching into the Aegean Sea.
Sit on this side for softer morning light and better views of the Balkan interior. It is particularly scenic during evening flights when the moon rises over the Aegean. Watch for the lights of Skopje and Sofia in the distance during night flights.
