Chalcidice Peninsulas
The three distinct 'fingers' of northern Greece, including the holy Mount Athos jutting into the Aegean.
Rila & Pirin Ranges
Soaring peaks of Bulgaria, providing dramatic alpine scenery that remains snow-capped well into spring.
The Danube Bend
The spectacular horseshoe curve of the Danube River north of Budapest near Visegrád.
Elbe Sandstone Mountains
Unique rock formations and deep valleys on the border between Czechia and Germany known as Saxon Switzerland.
Berlin Landmarks
Clear views of the TV Tower (Fernsehturm) and the dense city grid during the final approach into the Tegel area.
The right side is unbeatable for geographic diversity. Look out for the Balkan peaks roughly 45-60 minutes into the flight. For the best view of the Elbe valley, ensure you are seated behind the wing. During the descent, the right side typically offers a broader view of the Berlin metropolitan area's sprawl and the Havel river system.

Izmir Gulf
Aerial view of the Aegean coastline and the sprawling urban landscape of Izmir immediately upon takeoff.
Sofia Cityscape
The Bulgarian capital visible within the Sofia Valley, surrounded by the Balkan Mountains.
Budapest & Danube
A sweeping view of the Hungarian capital and the river dividing Buda and Pest during the mid-flight cruise.
Prague Panorama
The historic bridges and terracotta rooftops of the Czech capital as you traverse Central Europe.
Brandenburg Plains
Dense pine forests and numerous small lakes characteristic of the region surrounding Berlin.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and avoid glare. This side is particularly rewarding for spotting the historic layouts of major Central European cities like Budapest and Prague during clear weather. If landing towards the west at Tegel, this side offers views of the southern Berlin suburbs and Wannsee.
