Aerial views of the rugged northern coastline of Turkey as the flight path skirts the Anatolian edge.

The dense urban sprawl of Istanbul, including the Golden Horn and historic minarets in the distance.

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Black Sea during the initial long crossing phase.
Bulgarian Riviera
Distant views of the Varna and Burgas coastlines as the plane heads towards the Balkan Peninsula.
Rhodope Mountains
Rugged, forested peaks that straddle the border between Bulgaria and Greece, often snow-capped in winter.
Lake Volvi
A large, serene lake located just east of Thessaloniki, surrounded by lush wetlands.
Thessaloniki Waterfront
The sweeping curve of the Gulf of Thermaikos and the city's waterfront during the final descent.
Choose the right side if you prefer mountain scenery over urban landscapes. As the plane descends into SKG, the right side often gets a sweeping view of the Thessaloniki city center and the White Tower if the aircraft approaches from the north. This side is also better for sunset views on evening flights.
