ATHNTE

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of the Pindus mountains in Greece, distant panoramic views of the Alps, and a magnificent descent over the historic Loire Valley châteaux.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Pindus Mountains

The 'Spine of Greece,' featuring dramatic ridges and deep valleys in the Epirus region.

🏛️

Rome and the Tiber

Distant but recognizable views of the Eternal City and the winding Tiber river path.

🏔️

The French Alps

Panoramic northern views of the snow-capped Alps visible across the French interior.

🏰

Loire Valley Châteaux

A high-altitude view of the famous castles lining the banks of the Loire River during descent.

💧

Erdre River

The picturesque waterway meeting the Loire in the heart of Nantes just before touchdown.

Sit on the right for the best chance to see the Loire River during the final 20 minutes of the flight. In winter, this side provides spectacular views of snow on the Pindus and distant Alps. Choose a seat forward of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the castles.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Gulf of Corinth

Aerial view of the deep blue waters separating the Peloponnese from central Greece.

🏝️

Ionian Islands

The turquoise coastlines of Cephalonia and Zakynthos as the flight leaves Greek airspace.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius

The iconic volcanic silhouette rising above the Bay of Naples during the Italian crossing.

⛰️

Massif Central

The rugged, ancient volcanic landscapes of south-central France, including the Puy de Sancy.

Avoid the left side on morning flights as the southern sun causes significant glare over the Mediterranean. It is, however, excellent for spotting the Italian coastline and the volcanic peaks of the Auvergne region in France.
