Seat yourself on the right for the iconic view of Mount Olympus, which typically appears roughly 40 minutes before arrival. For afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare, but the reward is a spectacular golden-hour view of the Aegean islands. Look for the distinct volcanic shape of Nisyros island to the south during the final descent.

Balkan Mountains
The rugged, forested peaks of the Stara Planina range in Bulgaria.
