Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, featuring the rugged Taurus Mountains, the intricate Croatian coastline, the Venetian lagoon, and a stunning final descent over Lake Geneva.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
πŸ”οΈ

Taurus Mountains

Spectacular snow-capped peaks of the Western Taurus range visible shortly after departure from AYT.

🏝️

Dalmatian Coast

The stunning archipelago of Croatia with hundreds of islands scattered in the clear blue Adriatic Sea.

πŸ›Ά

Venice Lagoon

On clear days, the distinct shape of Venice and its surrounding islands can be seen from high altitude.

πŸ’§

Lake Garda

Italy's largest lake, nestled at the foot of the Alps, provides a brilliant blue landmark.

πŸ”οΈ

Swiss Valais Alps

A close-up view of the 4,000-meter peaks of the Swiss Alps as the plane turns toward Geneva.

🌊

Lake Geneva (Lac LΓ©man)

The iconic crescent-shaped lake and the Jet d'Eau fountain are usually best seen from the right during the final approach.

The right side is the clear winner for geographic diversity. For the best experience, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the Balkan coast and the Alps. During the final approach to GVA (usually Runway 22), the right side offers the famous view of Geneva's harbor and fountain.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
πŸ–οΈ

Antalya Bay

Panoramic views of the turquoise Mediterranean coastline and the 'Turkish Riviera' immediately after takeoff.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡·

Peloponnese Peninsula

Aerial perspective of the deep gulfs and mountainous terrain of southern Greece.

⛰️

Apennine Mountains

The rugged spine of Italy visible as the flight crosses the Adriatic toward the northern plains.

πŸ”οΈ

Mont Blanc

As you approach Switzerland, the highest peak in the Alps often towers on the southern horizon.

⛷️

French Alps

Dramatic views of the Haute-Savoie region and glacial valleys during the initial descent.

The left side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides a more consistent view of the Mediterranean horizon and the southern massif of the Alps. Look out for the Mont Blanc massif approximately 20 minutes before landing.
