EIN → ATH
Which side of the plane to sit from Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven) to Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (Athens)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the Alps and a long, breathtaking stretch of the turquoise Adriatic coastline and Greek islands.
Swiss & Italian Alps
Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks and glaciers as you cross the central Alpine massif.
Dalmatian Coast
The stunning turquoise waters and countless islands of the Croatian archipelago.
Pindus Mountains
The wild and mountainous 'spine of Greece' featuring deep gorges and stone villages.
Saronic Gulf
On final approach, see the islands of Aegina and Salamis surrounded by deep blue Aegean waters.
Attica Coastline
The dramatic cliffs and beaches of the Athenian Riviera just before touchdown.
This is the 'scenic side'. For the best Alpine photos, a window seat behind the wing is ideal to avoid engine heat haze. In winter, the snow-covered Pindus range is exceptionally photogenic during midday flights.
Rhine-Main Region
Aerial views of the industrial heart of Germany and the winding Rhine river shortly after departure.
Austrian Alps
Glance at the jagged peaks of the eastern Alpine range and high-altitude lakes.
Balkan Interior
The rugged, less-traveled mountain terrains of Serbia and North Macedonia.
Gulf of Euboea
The long, thin island of Evia and the narrow straits separating it from the Greek mainland.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Look out during the final 20 minutes for the sprawling suburbs of northern Athens and the forest of Mount Parnitha.
