Pannonian Basin
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Central Europe provides a patchwork of colors below.

Meteora Region
On the descent path, look for the unique sandstone pillars that house the famous Eastern Orthodox monasteries.

Lake Balaton
A clear view of Central Europe's largest lake, known for its turquoise waters and elongated shape.
Belgrade Confluence
Watch for the meeting point of the Danube and Sava rivers as the flight traverses Serbian airspace.
Mount Olympus
As the descent begins, look for the highest peak in Greece, traditionally known as the home of the gods.
Thermaic Gulf
Scenic views of the coastline leading toward the Aegean Sea before turning inland for landing.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to catch the massive silhouette of Mount Olympus. During clear summer days, the contrast between the Balkan greenery and the blue Danube is most striking on this side.
