Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods, visible shortly after takeoff to the southwest.
Lake Ohrid
One of Europe's deepest and oldest lakes, shimmering on the border of North Macedonia.
Austrian Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Hohe Tauern range and jagged limestone peaks.
Bavarian Foothills
Lush green landscapes and traditional German villages as the flight crosses into Germany.
Thuringian Forest
Large stretches of dense, dark evergreen forests visible during the initial descent phase.
Book a window seat on the left for a morning flight to avoid direct glare from the sun. Keep your eyes peeled within the first 15 minutes for the snow-capped peak of Olympus. The Alpine crossing usually occurs halfway through the flight; during winter, the contrast of snow and shadows is particularly photogenic.

Thessaloniki City
Excellent views of the White Tower and the urban grid of Greece's second-largest city.
Chalkidiki Peninsula
The three 'fingers' of the peninsula stretching into the Aegean Sea during the climb.
The Danube
Watch for the massive river as it winds through the plains of Hungary and Serbia.
Prague Environs
On clear days, the rolling hills and historic architecture of the Czech region are visible.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring the prominent Brocken peak.
The right side is best for capturing the immediate takeoff view of Thessaloniki. Use a polarizing filter if taking photos of the Danube to cut through atmospheric haze. As you approach Hannover, the right side often offers a better view of the city center if the aircraft approaches from the east.
