Which side of the plane to sit from Pisa International Airport (Pisa) to Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (Thessaloniki)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Italian Apennines and the legendary Mount Olympus during the descent into Thessaloniki.
Pisa Landmark View
Shortly after takeoff, you can often spot the Square of Miracles and the Arno River snaking through the city.
Apennine Mountains
A crossing of the rugged limestone peaks that form the spine of the Italian peninsula.
Adriatic Coastline
Views of the coastal cities of Ancona and Pescara as the flight leaves the Italian mainland.
Albanian Alps
Dramatic views of the Prokletije mountain range with its jagged peaks and deep river valleys.
Mount Olympus
The highest mountain in Greece and legendary home of the gods, visible on the left during the final approach.
Book a seat in the front half of the cabin for unobstructed views of Mount Olympus. On morning flights, the lighting is perfect for photography as the sun illuminates the mountains from the south. Keep an eye out about 20 minutes before landing for the most dramatic terrain.
Tuscan Archipelago
Distant views of Elba and smaller islands dotting the Tyrrhenian Sea during the initial climb.
The Italian Heel
Views of the Gargano Peninsula and the flat, sun-drenched plains of the Puglia region.
Corfu and Ionian Sea
The lush green landscape of Corfu and the turquoise waters of the Ionian islands.
Pindus Mountain Range
The 'Spine of Greece,' featuring dense forests and remote stone villages in the Epirus region.
Thermaic Gulf
The sweeping curve of the coastline as the aircraft turns toward the Thessaloniki runway.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides excellent views of the Greek coastline and islands. Look for the distinct white cliffs of the Ionian coast as you cross from the sea to the mainland.
