Which side of the plane to sit from Skiros Airport (Skiros) to Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (Thessaloniki)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the most iconic landmarks of Northern Greece, including the lush Sporades islands and the majestic Mount Olympus.
Skiathos and Skopelos
Bird's-eye view of the emerald waters and dense pine forests of these famous Mamma Mia islands.
Mount Pelion
The mountainous peninsula known as the mythical land of Centaurs, where steep cliffs dive into the Aegean.
Pagasetic Gulf
A stunning view of the nearly circular gulf and the bustling port city of Volos nestled at its base.
Mount Olympus
The highest peak in Greece and home of the twelve gods; look for its jagged Mytikas summit rising above the clouds.
Thessaloniki Waterfront
Clear views of the city's long promenade and the White Tower as the plane enters the final approach.
Book a window seat on the left for the best chance to see Mount Olympus. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the mountain face from the east. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff as the Sporades islands appear almost immediately.
Alonissos Marine Park
The largest marine protected area in Europe, featuring crystal clear waters and uninhabited islets.
Kassandra Peninsula
The first 'finger' of Chalkidiki, recognizable by its sandy white beaches and luxury resorts.
Sithonia Peninsula
The middle 'finger' of Chalkidiki, characterized by its rugged coastline and deep green landscapes.
Mount Athos Silhouette
On very clear days, the distant peak of the Holy Mountain can be seen on the eastern horizon.
The right side is better for viewing the unique geography of the Chalkidiki peninsulas. Late afternoon flights are preferred here to avoid the sun's glare, which will be on the left side of the aircraft during the northbound flight.
