Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, featuring the most dramatic sections of the Tyrolean Alps, a stunning parallel view of the Dalmatian Coast, and the iconic Corinth Canal during the transition into the Aegean.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
πŸ‡

Rhine Valley

The winding river bends and steep vineyard slopes of western Germany.

πŸ”οΈ

Innsbruck & Tyrolean Alps

A spectacular crossing of the central Alps with views of jagged limestone peaks and deep green valleys.

🏝️

Dalmatian Coast

Incredible views of the Croatian islands, including Hvar and Brač, set against the turquoise Adriatic Sea.

πŸŒ‰

Corinth Canal

If the flight path hugs the western coast of Greece, look for the narrow turquoise sliver of the canal separating Peloponnese from the mainland.

πŸŒ‹

Santorini & Crete

On clear days, the distinctive crescent-shaped caldera of Santorini and the high peaks of Crete appear to the south.

Choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the mountains. Note that for midday flights, the sun will be on the right side for the majority of the journey; keep the window shade partially down to manage heat while enjoying the alpine views.

Left Side Highlights
8.1
πŸ™οΈ

Cologne & Bonn

Clear views of the Rhine River and the urban density of the North Rhine-Westphalia region shortly after departure.

πŸ”οΈ

Eastern Austrian Alps

Bird's-eye view of the Hohe Tauern National Park and Austria's highest peaks, including the Grossglockner.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

The rugged, rocky karst landscapes of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.

🌊

Cyclades Archipelago

As the flight descends, the deep blue Aegean Sea dotted with white-washed island clusters becomes visible.

🏰

Rhodes Old Town

Depending on the wind direction, a left-side approach often circles the northern tip of Rhodes, showing the medieval fortifications.

Early morning flights are best for the left side to avoid direct solar glare. During the descent into RHO, keep your camera ready for the northern coastline of Rhodes, as the Mandraki Harbor is frequently visible from this side.
