Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the European continent, featuring the highest peaks of the Alps, the intricate coastline of the Adriatic, and a spectacular entry over the Greek islands into Rhodes.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

Mont Blanc and the Jura

The highest peak in Western Europe is often visible shortly after departure from Paris.

⚓

Venetian Lagoon

The distinctive shape of Venice and its surrounding islands are visible when crossing the Adriatic.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

Stunning views of the hundreds of islands along the Croatian coast and turquoise waters.

🏛️

Peloponnese Peninsula

The southern tip of mainland Greece with its mountainous terrain and deep gulfs.

🌅

Cyclades Islands

Aerial views of world-famous islands like Mykonos and Santorini during the final cruise phase.

The right side is best for sunset flights as the sun dips over the Mediterranean. During descent, look for the 'Colossus' entrance of Rhodes harbor. Seats behind the wing are preferable to see the dramatic contrast between the deep blue sea and white-washed island villages.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Swiss and Austrian Alps

Dense clusters of snow-capped peaks including the Bernese Oberland and the Tyrol region.

🏙️

Balkan Hinterland

Expansive views over the rugged mountain ranges of Serbia and Bulgaria.

🌊

Northern Aegean Sea

Vibrant blue waters interspersed with the islands of Limnos and Lesbos as you descend.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the alpine glaciers early in the journey and the rugged Balkan terrain midway. As you approach Rhodes, the left side often provides a view of the Turkish coastline near Marmaris.
