Which side of the plane to sit from Cologne Bonn Airport (Cologne) to Mikonos Airport (Mykonos)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, combining the jagged peaks of the Central Alps with a stunning traversal along the turquoise Adriatic coastline and a view of the sacred island of Delos during final descent.
Lake Constance
The expansive blue waters of the 'Bodensee' bordering Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Central Alps
Iconic views of glacier-carved valleys and some of the highest peaks in Central Europe.
Dalmatian Coast
The spectacular sight of the Croatian archipelago with over a thousand islands in crystal waters.
Dubrovnik
The red-roofed historic Old Town of the 'Pearl of the Adriatic' visible from high altitude.
Delos & Rhenia
The sacred archaeological site of Delos and its sister island just minutes before landing.
Syros Island
The colorful neoclassical capital of the Cyclades visible on the southern horizon during approach.
The right side is highly recommended for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset reflecting off the Adriatic Sea. During the final approach into Mykonos Airport (JMK), passengers on this side get a unique perspective of the uninhabited sacred island of Delos.
Austrian Alps
Dramatic views of the High Tauern range and the snow-capped peak of Grossglockner.
Balkan Interior
The rugged, forested mountains of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the deep canyons of Montenegro.
Pindus Mountains
The dramatic 'spine of Greece' featuring deep gorges and high limestone peaks.
Euboea (Evia)
The massive island flanking the Greek mainland, separated by the narrow Euripus Strait.
Northern Cyclades
Sweeping views of the terraced landscapes of Tinos and Andros as the aircraft nears Mykonos.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Austrian border for some of the best alpine photography opportunities on this route.
