Which side of the plane to sit from Cologne Bonn Airport (Cologne) to Antalya International Airport (Antalya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the high Alpine peaks and a stunning perspective of the Adriatic and Mediterranean coastlines.
Rhine Valley
Views of the scenic Rhine river, historic castles, and German vineyards shortly after takeoff.
High Alps
Spectacular vistas of the Austrian and Swiss glacier peaks, often snow-capped year-round.
Dalmatian Coast
The mesmerizing pattern of islands and turquoise waters along the Croatian Adriatic shore.
Mediterranean Sea
Deep blue expanses punctuated by Greek islands like Rhodes as you cross toward Turkey.
Turkish Riviera
Golden beaches and luxury resorts lining the coast from Fethiye toward Antalya.
Choose this side to avoid direct southern sunlight glare during midday flights. The Adriatic crossing is the visual highlight, occurring roughly halfway through the journey; look out for the distinct 'pearl string' of Croatian islands.
Bavarian Alps
The northern edge of the Alps featuring lush green valleys and jagged limestone peaks.
Belgrade
Clear views of the Serbian capital at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.
Central Taurus Range
Dramatic, rugged mountain landscapes as the plane begins its descent into southern Turkey.
Gulf of Antalya
Panoramic views of the turquoise coastline and the sprawling city of Antalya on approach.
Sit on this side for early morning flights to see the sunrise reflecting off the Balkan mountains. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the steep drops of the Taurus mountains which appear very close to the aircraft path.
