AYT โ†’ GRZ

Which side of the plane to sit from Antalya International Airport (Antalya) to Graz Airport (Graz)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning visual journey over the Aegean islands and the breathtaking Dalmatian coast of Croatia before entering the Alps.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
๐ŸŒŠ

Turquoise Coast

Aerial views of the crystal-clear waters surrounding Antalya and the Lycian Way immediately after takeoff.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Aegean Islands

Panoramic views of the Dodecanese and Cyclades island chains, including Rhodes and Samos.

๐Ÿฐ

Dalmatian Coastline

The intricate network of Croatian islands and the historic terracotta roofs of the Balkan coast.

โ›ต

Adriatic Sea

Deep blue vistas of the Adriatic, often dotted with white sailboats and cruise ships.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Julian Alps

The dramatic transition from the coastline to the snow-dusted limestone peaks of Slovenia and Austria.

Choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean and the white cliffs of the Croatian islands. During the final 20 minutes, watch for the shift from Mediterranean shrubs to dense Alpine forests. Keep your camera ready as you pass over the Greek islands shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Taurus Mountains

The rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Western Taurus range rising sharply from the Turkish coast.

๐ŸŒพ

Anatolian Plateau

The vast, golden-hued high-altitude landscapes of inner Turkey.

๐Ÿ›ถ

Danube River

A distant view of the winding blue ribbon of the Danube as it cuts through the Balkan interior.

๐ŸŒฒ

Styrian Hills

The rolling green 'Green Heart' of Austria as the plane prepares for landing in Graz.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Mount Schรถckl

The prominent local mountain standing guard over the northern approach to Graz Airport.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers superior views of the Turkish interior and the continental Balkan landscapes. Watch for the sharp contrast between the arid Turkish peaks and the lush, green valleys of Styria during the descent. If the flight path takes a more easterly route, you may see the Pannonian Basin in the distance.
