Sea of Azov
Shortly after takeoff from Donetsk, catch views of the shallow, greenish-blue waters of the Sea of Azov to the south.
Bulgarian Riviera
Aerial views of the popular resorts near Varna and the rugged cliffs of Cape Kaliakra along the Black Sea.
Mount Athos
On clear days, the distinct peak of the Holy Mountain on the easternmost 'finger' of Chalkidiki is visible to the southeast.
Thessaloniki Cityscape
A perfect view of the White Tower, the Upper Town (Ano Poli), and the dense urban layout as the plane aligns for landing.
Aegean Reflection
The shimmering sunlight reflecting off the Thermaic Gulf creates a dramatic backdrop during late afternoon arrivals.
Sit on the left (Port side) to capture the quintessential view of Thessaloniki's waterfront. For the best photography, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you when looking at the city, or a late afternoon flight for golden hour hues over the Aegean. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastline.

Dnieper River Reservoirs
The massive Kahovka Reservoir and the sprawling agricultural fields of the Kherson region in southern Ukraine.
Danube Delta
Look for the intricate network of channels and wetlands where the Danube River meets the Black Sea near the Romanian border.
Balkan Mountains
Cross over the central Stara Planina range in Bulgaria, featuring sharp ridges and deep green valleys.
Mount Olympus
Greece's highest mountain and the legendary home of the gods is visible across the gulf during the final approach.
Thermaic Gulf Descent
Views of the sea-facing side of the airport as the aircraft makes its final turn over the water.
The right side (Starboard) is ideal for mountain enthusiasts. You will get a distant but majestic view of Mount Olympus just before landing at SKG. Keep an eye out for the Danube Delta's unique geography roughly 40 minutes into the flight. Polarized sunglasses will help reduce the glare from the water when looking toward the Dnieper and the Black Sea.
