Search flights from WMI to SKG
High Tatras
Stunning views of the highest peaks in the Carpathian Mountains, often snow-capped even in late spring.
Budapest & The Danube
A glimpse of the Hungarian capital and the wide ribbon of the Danube flowing toward the Balkans.
Belgrade Confluence
The historic meeting point of the Sava and Danube rivers at the heart of the Serbian capital.
Mount Olympus
The mythical home of the Greek gods, standing tall at 2,917 meters, visible during the descent into SKG.
Thermaic Gulf
Sweeping views of the coastline and the cargo ships dotting the waters of the Gulf of Thessaloniki.
The right side is the premier choice for mountain enthusiasts. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates Mount Olympus to the west. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture the dramatic descent over the Greek mainland mountains towards the sea.

Warsaw Skyline
Distal views of the Palace of Culture and Science and the modern skyscraper cluster as the flight heads south.
Eastern Carpathians
The rolling green and grey ridges of the Beskids and eastern Slovakian mountain ranges.
The Danube Bend
The majestic curve of the Danube river north of Budapest as it cuts through the Hungarian hills.
Skopje Cityscape
Bird's-eye view of the North Macedonian capital nestled in the Skopje Valley.
Chalcidice Peninsula
The distinctive 'three fingers' of the Halkidiki region visible in the distance across the Aegean blue.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. As you approach Thessaloniki, look ahead for the shimmering waters of the Aegean Sea. This side is better for spotting the unique geography of the Sithonia and Kassandra peninsulas during the base leg of the landing pattern.
