Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the iconic Aegean coastline, the legendary Mount Pelion, and the most dramatic perspectives of Mount Olympus during the approach to Thessaloniki.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Taygetus Mountains

Dramatic views of the 'Prophet Elias' peak rising sharply above Kalamata immediately after takeoff.

🏛️

Mount Parnassus

The majestic limestone massif near Delphi, often snow-capped during the winter and early spring months.

⚓

Pagasetic Gulf

A near-circular gulf sheltered by the Pelion peninsula, looking like a massive natural mirror from above.

⛰️

Mount Pelion

The mythological home of the Centaurs, characterized by lush vegetation and traditional villages perched on its slopes.

⚡

Mount Olympus

The ultimate highlight; the flight path passes close to the eastern face of the 'Home of the Gods,' revealing Mytikas peak.

The right side is essential for seeing Mount Olympus and the Aegean coast. Book a morning flight for the best front-lighting on the mountains. During the descent into SKG, you will likely fly directly over the Thermaic Gulf, providing a panoramic view of Thessaloniki city on this side.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Messenian Gulf

Immediate views of the deep blue waters and the coastal periphery of the Peloponnese shortly after departure.

⛰️

Mainalo Mountain Range

The rugged, forested heart of the central Peloponnese, featuring steep limestone peaks and deep valleys.

🌉

Gulf of Corinth

A stunning aerial crossing over the narrow body of water separating the Peloponnese from mainland Greece.

🏔️

Pindus Mountains

Distances views of the 'Spine of Greece,' showcasing some of the country's highest and most remote peaks.

🌲

Pieria Mountains

Dense forests and rolling green slopes that signal the final descent into the Macedonia region.

Choose the left side for better views of the inner mountainous core of the Peloponnese and Central Greece. For late afternoon flights, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare from the sun.
