Which side of the plane to sit from Nea Anchialos Airport (Nea Anghialos) to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning sequence of the Pindus Mountains, the turquoise Dalmatian coastline with its numerous islands, and a more direct view of the high Alpine peaks and the city of Luxembourg during the descent.
Pagasetic Gulf
Immediate views of the turquoise waters and the Pelion Peninsula as you climb away from Volos.
Pindus Mountain Range
The rugged spine of Greece with dramatic limestone peaks and deep gorges.
Dalmatian Coastline
A spectacular view of the Croatian islands like Hvar and Vis dotting the deep blue Adriatic Sea.
Venice and the Lagoon
On clear days, the distinct shape of Venice and its surrounding marshes can be spotted to the west.
Dolomites and Swiss Alps
Breathtaking views of jagged snow-capped peaks as the flight crosses Central Europe.
Luxembourg City
The deep Alzette valley and historic fortifications of the city are often visible before entering Belgian airspace.
Choose the left side for optimal lighting during afternoon flights, which illuminates the Croatian coast perfectly. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the Pindus mountains and again mid-flight for the intricate patterns of the Adriatic islands. If flying in winter, the snow-covered Alps are a highlight roughly 1.5 hours into the journey.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the gods is visible shortly after departure to the north of the flight path.
Dinaric Alps
The vast, wild mountain interior of Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Lake Constance
The massive lake where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet is a major landmark mid-flight.
Black Forest
Dense, dark green forest canopies of Southern Germany stretching toward the horizon.
Ardennes Forest
The rolling green hills and dense woodlands of Southern Belgium during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for catching a glimpse of Mount Olympus early in the flight. In the morning, this side enjoys the best light for seeing the Dinaric Alps. During the descent into Charleroi, look for the industrial landscapes of the Meuse valley mixed with the lush greenery of the Belgian Ardennes.
