Grossglockner
Austria's highest mountain is frequently visible in clear weather shortly after crossing the border.
Dinaric Alps
The dramatic karst landscape of the Balkan peninsula stretches beneath the flight path.
Lake Ohrid
One of Europe's oldest and deepest lakes can often be spotted on the border of North Macedonia and Albania.
Mount Athos
The holy mountain and its monasteries are visible on the easternmost 'finger' of Halkidiki.
Thasos Island
The 'Emerald Island' of the Aegean provides a stunning backdrop as the plane descends into Kavala.
The star attraction is the Austrian Alps; the Grossglockner peak is visible roughly 20 minutes into the flight. During the descent, you will fly past the Athos peninsula; keep an eye out for the monasteries clinging to the cliffs. Best light is usually in the morning to avoid direct sun glare when looking south towards the Aegean.

Chiemsee Lake
Known as the 'Bavarian Sea', this large lake is visible shortly after departure from Munich.
Hohe Tauern
Aerial views of the eastern portion of the Austrian Alps, including glaciers and jagged peaks.
Balkan Interior
Expansive views of the rugged landscapes of Serbia and North Macedonia during mid-flight.
Rhodope Mountains
The dense forests and rolling peaks that define the border between Bulgaria and Greece.
Kavala Harbor
A glimpse of the historic city and its white houses as the plane maneuvers for landing.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Chiemsee lake shortly after takeoff. For late afternoon flights, this side will be in the shade, making photography of the Rhodope Mountains much easier without glare from the sun.
