Western Taurus Peaks
Stunning limestone ridges and deep valleys of the Turkish highlands visible shortly after departing Antalya.
Aegean Glimpses
Views of the distant turquoise waters and the jagged western coastline of the Anatolian peninsula.
Sofia & Rila Mountains
The urban sprawl of the Bulgarian capital set against the backdrop of the highest peaks in the Balkans.
Bohemian Forest
A vast sea of dark green spruce and fir trees along the border between the Czech Republic and Bavaria.
Thuringian Forest
The 'Green Heart of Germany' featuring rolling hills and historic fortifications like the Wartburg in the distance.

During the final 20 minutes of flight, keep your eyes peeled for the dense woodlands of central Germany as the plane descends into the Thuringian basin.
