PRG → ATH
Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (Athens)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer impressive Balkan landscapes, the Right Side provides superior views of the high Alpine peaks in Austria, the dramatic Pindus mountain range in Greece, and a more scenic approach into Athens often overlooking the Saronic Gulf.

Austrian Alps
Spectacular views of the easternmost snow-capped peaks of the Alps shortly after departure.
Dinaric Alps
The karst limestone formations of the Balkan interior create a uniquely jagged and grey landscape.
Lake Ohrid
Spot the crystal clear waters of one of Europe's oldest and deepest lakes on the border of North Macedonia.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods stands out as a massive, often cloud-shrouded limestone massif.
Saronic Gulf
During the final approach, enjoy views of the Peloponnese coastline and the small islands near Piraeus.
The right side is the 'golden side' for sunset flights, as the sun sets over the Ionian Sea, casting a orange glow over the Greek mountains. On the approach to ATH, if the plane lands from the north, you might see the Parthenon in the distance from this side. Ensure your window is clean for the Alpine views early in the flight.

Vienna & Danube
Catch a glimpse of the Austrian capital and the winding Danube River shortly after crossing the border.
Belgrade Confluence
Observe the historic Kalemegdan Fortress where the Sava and Danube rivers meet in the Serbian capital.
Thermaic Gulf
View the coastal sprawl of Thessaloniki and the shimmering waters of the northern Aegean Sea.
Island of Euboea
The long, rugged coastline of Greece's second-largest island provides a dramatic backdrop during descent.
Aegean Shipping Lanes
Dozens of cargo ships and ferries create white wakes against the deep blue sea near the Attica coast.
Avoid the left side on early morning flights to prevent direct sun glare. This side is better during the late afternoon when the sun is on the opposite side, highlighting the colors of the Serbian and Macedonian plains. Keep an eye out for the metallic glint of the Danube throughout the middle third of the journey.
