Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi) to Nea Anchialos Airport (Nea Anghialos)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more direct view of the spectacular Eastern Alps and a breathtaking approach past Mount Olympus before landing near the Pagasetic Gulf.
Wallonia Landscapes
Aerial views of the rolling hills and industrial heritage of the Charleroi region immediately after takeoff.
Eastern Swiss Alps
Dramatic views of the high Alpine peaks and glaciers as the flight crosses from Central Europe toward the Mediterranean.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days, the distinct shape of Venice and its surrounding islands can be spotted as you cross the Italian coast.
Pindus Mountains
The rugged, stone-grey peaks of northern Greece providing a wild backdrop during the mid-flight descent phase.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods is often visible to the north just before the aircraft begins its final turn toward Nea Anchialos.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare and capture the best lighting on the Alps. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to catch the massive silhouette of Mount Olympus. During winter months, the snow coverage on the Alps is significantly more impressive on this side.
Black Forest Border
Views of the dense German forests and the winding Rhine river valley during the initial cruise phase.
Western Alps
Distant but clear views of the highest European peaks, potentially including the Mont Blanc massif depending on the airway.
Adriatic Sea Crossing
The deep blue expanse of the Adriatic as the plane leaves the Italian peninsula and heads toward the Balkans.
Greek West Coast
Views of the turquoise waters and white cliffs along the Ionian coast of Epirus as you enter Greek airspace.
Pagasetic Gulf
A stunning view of the circular gulf and the Pelion peninsula as the aircraft maneuvers for landing at Volos.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Adriatic Sea. It offers a better view of the Pagasetic Gulf during the final approach. Check for the visibility of Lake Garda while crossing Northern Italy, as it often appears as a deep blue sliver on this side.
