The left side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled panorama of the Swiss Alps shortly after takeoff, followed by a stunning sequence of the Croatian archipelago and the islands of the Aegean Sea.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

The Bernese Alps

Shortly after departure from BSL, witness the iconic peaks of the Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau towering above the Swiss plateau.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Venetian Lagoon

As the flight crosses into Italy, catch a glimpse of the unique structure of Venice and its surrounding islands in the Adriatic.

๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ท

Dalmatian Archipelago

Enjoy an extended view of the rugged Croatian coastline, featuring hundreds of white-pebbled islands set against deep turquoise waters.

๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ช

Bay of Kotor

A spectacular sight where the mountains of Montenegro drop vertically into the winding waters of the Adriatic's most famous inlet.

๐Ÿ›๏ธ

Mount Olympus

On the descent towards the Aegean, look for the snow-capped residence of the Greek gods rising prominently on the Greek mainland.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

The Cyclades

A mesmerizing bird's-eye view of various Greek islands scattered across the blue Aegean as you approach Rhodes.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. For morning flights, the left side is shaded from direct sunlight, making it perfect for photography without glare. The most dramatic views of the Alps occur within the first 20-30 minutes of the flight.

Right Side Highlights

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Western Alpine Horizon

Distant views of the French and Italian Alps, including the distinctive silhouette of the Matterhorn on clear days.

๐Ÿ’ง

Northern Italian Lakes

Look down to see the shimmering surfaces of Lake Garda or Lake Como as the flight path crosses the Po Valley.

Ionian Sea Expanse

Deep blue maritime views as the plane traverses the open water between Italy and the Peloponnese.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท

Peloponnese Coast

The rugged western edges of mainland Greece, showing off steep cliffs and hidden Mediterranean coves.

โœˆ๏ธ

Rhodes Final Approach

As the plane banks for Diagoras Airport, the right side often gets a sweeping view of the island's western beaches and the blue sea.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. Keep an eye out for the Turkish coastline on the far horizon during the final 10 minutes of flight. Be aware that during peak summer, the sun will be quite strong on this side for most of the journey.
