Search flights from SKG to NRN
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods is visible to the southwest minutes after departing Thessaloniki.
Thermaic Gulf
Sweeping views of the Aegean coastline as the aircraft climbs to cruising altitude.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged limestone mountain range extending across the Balkan Peninsula.
Austrian Alpine Peaks
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Hohe Tauern range and potentially the Grossglockner.
Lake Constance
The massive lake at the intersection of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland is often visible to the west.
Cologne Cathedral
On clear days during the descent, the twin spires of the Kölner Dom can be spotted in the distance.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, ensuring optimal lighting for photography. Mount Olympus appears very early, roughly 5 to 10 minutes after takeoff, so keep your camera ready. During winter, the Alpine snow cover is particularly striking on this side.

Thessaloniki Cityscape
A bird's-eye view of the White Tower and the organized grid of the city center on departure.
Belgrade
The confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers is a major landmark over Serbia.
Salzkammergut Lakes
The shimmering blue alpine lakes of Austria, including Attersee or Traunsee.
Frankfurt Skyline
The 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and one of Europe's busiest airport hubs are visible from altitude.
Rhine-Ruhr Megalopolis
The dense urban sprawl of Germany's industrial heartland during the final descent phase.
Rhine River Bends
The winding curves of the Rhine river as the aircraft aligns for the approach into Weeze.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the European horizon. Keep an eye out for the Danube river while crossing the Balkans, as it serves as a primary navigational landmark. This side offers better views of the dense urban lights if flying during the evening.
